Indie Live Expo, the Japan-based digital showcase spotlighting new and innovative indie games, is officially returning on 13 April 2025. The news arrives as the team behind it celebrates 8.5 million global views for its annual Winter showcase, which featured over 100 game announcements, an awards show, and more.
Organisers are now gathering interest for the annual Spring showcase, with developers from around the world encouraged to submit their games for consideration. Traditionally, the Indie Live Expo is fantastic for revealing hidden gems, so it’s great for developers looking to be discovered by a brand new audience, and for keen players looking for unique, interesting games. To date, Indie Live Expo has featured over 2,900 video games, with each given their time to shine across various showcases.
As outlined, organisers will select 100 titles from those submitted, to create a show of new trailers, world premiers, gameplay reveals, news, and more. There’ll be new segments in the upcoming Indie Live Expo, as well as some returning favourites like the Indie Waves’ rapid-fire 15-second updates, and the Indie Spotlight’s deep dives.

We aim to make our next event our best show to date!”
