Amidst the glut of video game showcases from large publishers and Summer Game Fest, the Triple-i Initiative is trying something a bit different. This collective of top indie developers includes Evil Empire (Dead Cells DLC), Thunder Lotus Games (Spiritfarer), Mega Crit (Slay the Spire), and many more, who all gathered together to show off what they’re calling “iii games” — or “blockbuster indie titles.”

The roguelike deck-builder to end all roguelike deck-builders is finally getting a sequel. Slay the Spire 2 is gearing up to release in early access in 2025.

After enjoying critical acclaimed with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, it looks like Ubisoft is already gearing up to take the next step forward for the franchise.

Last week, a small set of interviews went viral over claims that the proverbial ‘gold rush’ for indie game funding had ended. Today, we get some clarification about those interviews.

We're living in a post-E3 world, and that means basically everyone is having a crack at putting together video game showcases. The latest of these is the Triple-i Initiative, organised by some of the minds behind Slay the Spire, Dead Cells, and Darkest Dungeon, among others.

It looks as though the plump pockets of big corporations like Epic and Microsoft are beginning to empty, and it's putting some smaller studios in an awkward position. After offering funds in exchange for exclusivity or availability on Game Pass, many indie devs have come to rely on these deals to finance their projects. However, it seems those deals are becoming harder to lock down, and they're worth less than they used to be.

A cavalcade of indie talent — including the studios behind Dead Cells, Darkest Dungeon, Vampire Survivors, Deep Rock Galactic, and Slay the Spire — has joined forces to launch a new 45-minute «no-nonsense» indie games showcase that's set to air on 10th April this year.

A collaboration of developers have announced The Triple-i Initiative, a 45-minute showcase event featuring world premieres, exclusive gameplay, demos, and drops from some of the top independent creators in games. It will take place on April 10 at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET. You will be able to watch it on YouTube, Twitch, bilibili, IGN, and Steam.
