Bordeaux, FRANCE - 28th March 2024: Let’s goooooo! The Triple-i Initiative is a brand new showcase aiming to elevate the top independent creators in video games. Join the fun on April 10th at 10am PDT, 1pm EDT, 7pm CEST with 30+ games from studios and publishers who worked on absolute bangers like Darkest Dungeon, Spiritfarer, V Rising and Risk of Rain 2.
A couple months ago The Triple-i Initiative was just an idea by Evil Empire, the studio behind the last five years of Dead Cells content. Now, it is a collaborative effort with the support from indie superstars like Re-Logic, creators of Terraria and Mega Crit, creators of Slay the Spire. The initiative promises a no-nonsense digital showcase featuring blockbuster indie titles, all streamed in under one hour to respect players’ and studios’ time.
Major announcements and reveals from studios like Mega Crit, Red Hook Studios, and Evil Empire are set for debut during the 45-minute showcase which will stream directly to fans on Youtube, Twitch, bilibili, IGN and Steam.
“ 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," said Bérenger Dupré, Evil Empire’s Marketing Director.
“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,” added Benjamin Laulan, Evil Empire’s COO.
The Triple-i Initiative will take place on Youtube, Twitch, bilibili, IGN and Steam on April 10th at 10am PT, 1pm ET, 7pm CEST.
