Oh boy. More than seventy games at this year’s Gamescom Indie Arena Booth! That’s a lot of indie fun for attendees, and to make it even better, the list includes no less than three from my neck of the woods. Very groovy. Oh, and I’m sure there’s other stuff to check out. Somewhere. Maybe. Yeah… If you ask me, Indie Arena Booth’s where it’s at!
That said, as I’m sure you’re more interested in the lineup than my ramblings, I’ll keep it brief (well aware that you could simply scroll down, completely ignoring all my ramblings). As such, the important bits are as follows: Gamescom 2017 will be taking place in Cologne, Germany, between the 22nd and 26th of August, 2017. Meanwhile, the Indie Arena Booth can be found in Hall 10.1 – like last year. Also, you’ll want to be quick about it if tickets still haven’t been purchased, just in case, limited availability and all that.
You don’t have to attend to peruse details, screenshots and such from the lineup though, as all that can be done by clicking the links below. But you totally should attend, still. Because the Indie Arena Booth (and by extension, Gamescom) is a truly great thing.
