From humble beginnings in 2013, the Indie Arena Booth at Gamescom has become an institution to rival the likes of the mighty Indie Megabooth. This sprawling behemoth of indietude, organized by a bunch of German developers but open to games from all over the world, will once again make an appearance this year. With more than 60 devs taking up 620 square meters of the show floor, there’s bound to be something for everyone. If you’re in Cologne between August 18 and 21, make sure to stop by and sample the arena’s delights. The games line-up has just been announced; you can find it after the cut.
