Endix confirmed the full running order for its virtual indie showcase, taking place on November 29 and 30. Highlighting both established studios and emerging indie creators, the event provides a curated digital space that allows publishers and developers to promote their upcoming releases in an immersive and inclusive environment, far from the noise and pressure of traditional in-person expos. 

According to Product Manager Nikos Perifanis, “We’ve been overwhelmed by the response to the latest Endix Indie Showcase, and we have curated a lineup that demonstrates the true global talent the games industry has to offer.” He adds that the expanded program, filled with more studios, more games and more prizes, reflects the growing enthusiasm surrounding independent development. “With more studios, more games, and more prizes on offer, we can’t wait for the showcase to start and for gamers to dive into the titles coming to console and PC in 2026 and beyond.”

All activities begin on the First Floor of the Expo Centre, where players can freely move, run or use fast travel to explore booths and themed environments. The digital space was designed to encourage discovery and fluid navigation, offering both guided paths and open-world freedom depending on each visitor’s preference.

Bringing together publishers such as THQ Nordic, 505 Games and Raw Fury, alongside more than fifty indie specialists representing a wide variety of genres, the showcase reaffirms its position as a significant platform for independent development. Over the course of the weekend, attendees will also have the chance to win more than 1,000 game codes distributed at random, adding an element of surprise and rewarding the community’s engagement.
