The organisers of INDIE Live Expo have revealed the date of the show and announced the award contenders

The Game Awards ceremony will be held very soon, where mostly projects of big companies will be honoured. But indie games will receive much less attention, although Balatro will be presented there too. But talented independent developers will not be left without their own show.

Here's What We Know

INDIE Live Expo digital festival will take place on the 7th of December. The broadcast will start at 11:00 (CET) and will be available on YouTube, Twitch and Steam.

Over one hundred indie developers have been invited to the event, with special awards prepared for them.

The show will be split into three parts, each taking about an hour:

• INDIE Waves - showing 15-second trailers of games for PC, consoles and mobile devices;
• INDIE Spotlight - news about the brightest projects of different genres;
• INDIE Live Expo Awards 2024 - award ceremony for the best independent releases.
