Triple-i Initiative digital showcase announced

Some of the best independent video games developers are coming together on the Triple-i Initiative, a new digital showcase. It will air on April 10 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM in the UK / 7 PM in Europe.

The showcase will feature over 30 games from studios and publishers who worked on the likes of Darkest Dungeon, Spiritfarer, V Rising, and Risk of Rain 2. The event will be “a no-nonsense digital showcase featuring blockbuster indie titles, all streamed in under one hour to respect players’ and studios’ time.” Expect announcements from Mega Crit, Red Hook Studios, and Evil Empire, and more.

Evil Empire, the company behind the last five years of Dead Cells content, was originally behind the event. However, it is now a collaborative effort with the support from indies such as Re-Logic, creators of Terraria and Mega Crit, creators of Slay the Spire. 

Evil Empire marketing director Bérenger Dupré said: “We felt a need for a showcase that highlights wildly different indie games but that have one thing in common; they resonate with millions of players around the world. Since using letters seems to be the trend in the industry, we figured that adding a couple of i’s to indie was a fair way to describe this new format. Also, triple-i just sounds cool.”

Evil Empire CEO Benjamin Laulan added: “The goal is to have a straight-to-the-point show packed with announcements as a collective of studios, to speak directly to players, the people who have been directly supporting us since day 1. The show will run for about 45 minutes, featuring news by the most successful and creative folks out there. No hosting segments, no advertisements, no sponsorships, no extra fluff, just games.”

You’ll be able to watch the Triple-i Initiative digital showcase on YouTube and Twitch.
