Der Indie Arena Booth ist dieses Jahr zum elften mal auf der Gamescom vertreten. Der Gemeinschaftsstand der Threaks GmbH stellt zwischen dem 23. und 27. August 151 Indie Games aus 30 Ländern aus – so viele, wie noch nie. Zudem steigt die Standfläche leicht auf 1537 Quadratmeter – Rekord.
Die Mehrheit der Indie Games wird das erste Mal auf der Gamescom ausgestellt sein. So dürfen sich Spielerinnen und Spieler auf erste anspielbare Demos von The Darkest Files, Hauma – A Detective Noir Story oder Closer the Distance freuen.
Aber auch etwas ältere Indie-Perlen bereichern das große Line-up. So wird beispielsweise Figment 2: Creed Valley von Bedtime Digital Games zum bereits fünften mal in Folge auf de Indie Arena Booth spielbar sein.
Die deutsche Gamesbranche wird umfangreich vertreten sein. Nicht zuletzt auch dank der regionalen Förderungsgesellschaften, die die Standflächen finanzieren. So bringt allein Gamecity Hamburg fünf Hamburger Indie Games auf die Gamescom (wir berichteten).
