The Triple-i Initiative gaming showcase is coming April 10th

So we finally know what the mysterious Triple-i Initiative thing is! It’s a big gaming showcase full of announcements and new footage for upcoming games centred around triple-i games and studios (big indies).

Expect to see over 30 games with announcements and special reveals from the likes of the people behind Vampire Survivors, Slay the Spire, Darkest Dungeon, Hyper Light Drifter, Risk of Rain, Humble Games publisher, Assemble Entertainment and the list goes on.

This feels really weird to me, as out of the gate non-indies are included. Risk of Rain is no longer owned by an indie studio and neither is Humble. I can more understand the latter because I believe they only publish for indie studios, but imo Risk of Rain has no business being there. I do love the games, though.

Computerchairgeneral,

No ads? No awkward celebrity cameos? No sponsors? Just video games? At a video game event? Ridiculous.

More seriously, there are a lot of good studios on that list and I'm excited to see what they have to announce.

What do the i’s stand for?

Indie indie indie. It’s a play on AAA games, as far as I understand it.

Yeah, III was basically coined to differentiate one-man / low budget indies from high budget indies like Hades, which was made by 20+ people, and a much higher budget, when compared to “normal” indies.

brsrklf,

Straight from the article :

“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”

They’re a bit late on the trend though, according to Microsoft and Ubisoft it’s all about Quadruple A now.
