After three years it was finally time for the Big Indie Pitch to return to Koln in Germany for the extravaganza that is Gamescom. Our Gamescom week pitch has always been one of the most competitive pitches of the year, and as such, there was a lot of excitement in the air for what the indie community was about to showcase.

It gives indie developers the chance to pitch their games to industry experts and journalists in a speed-dating-style format.

Though it is certainly worth highlighting how well received our runner-ups AK-xolotl and Aloft were. Want to know more? Well luckily, you can learn more about all three games right here.
