Ryu’s Office announced that INDIE Live Expo 2024 will return on Sunday, December 7, 2024, with several game announcements to come. That same day, the INDIE Live Expo Awards will take place.
Game submissions for the INDIE Waves segment will open in mid-September, giving developers the opportunity to feature their game with a 15-second intro video at the December 2024 INDIE Live Expo showcase. Moreover, a panel for the INDIE Live Expo Awards is being prepared, with global game industry veterans that will bestow accolades to critically acclaimed indie titles from the year.
The INDIE Live Expo May 2024 showcase saw the surprising reveal of a new Hotel Barcelona trailer, among many other announcements. These announcements include DDDistortion’s action-horror third-person shooter Nightmare Operator, a fall 2024 release window for Kemono Teatime, and a September 6 Steam Early Access release for Boyhood’s End.
The May 2024 INDIE Live Expo showcase garnered 7.4 million views worldwide, and it was streamed simultaneously in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Over the past four years, INDIE Live Expo has highlighted more than 2750 indie games and accumulated 100 million viewers across ten shows.
“It is both an honor and a pleasure to receive the hundreds of titles vying for a spot in our showcase every year,” said Ryuta Konuma, Founder and CEO, Ryu’s Office. “We are grateful for the long-time support from our viewers, supporters, sponsors, and media partners, and wanted to shout out to those amazing game developers bringing their hard work to INDIE Live Expo.”
