Returning for its second year, the 2025 Triple-i Initiative showcase is making waves today with an impressive lineup of trailers from more than 30 game developers and publishers. As the excitement builds for this annual trailer showcase, which reaches its zenith during the Summer Game Fest in June and Gamescom in August, the spotlight is firmly on the latest offerings from the gaming world.
The Triple-i Initiative serves as a collaborative platform where various studios come together to unveil significant announcements. While the term “triple-i” lacks a strict definition—much like its counterparts AAA and indie—it encapsulates a celebration of some of the most noteworthy independent titles in the industry. Below, we delve into the details of who is participating this year.
When to watch the Triple-i Initiative
For those eager to catch the action, the showcase is available for viewing on both YouTube and Twitch. Here’s a quick breakdown of when to tune in based on your location:
- North America: 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET
- UK: 8 PM BST
- Central Europe: 9 PM CEST
- Australia: 5 AM AEST (next day)
This year, the Triple-i Initiative boasts over 30 participating studios, collectively presenting 37 different announcements. Among the highlights are updates from titles such as The Alters, Outbound, and Enshrouded. Gamers can also look forward to trailers for anticipated sequels and new entries, including Moonlighter 2, V Rising, Deep Rock Galactic, Endless Legend 2, and Sloclap’s soccer (or football) game, Rematch.
On a personal note, I’m particularly excited about Askiisoft, as there may finally be news regarding the long-awaited free DLC for Katana Zero, a title that has captivated players with its slick sidescrolling samurai action.
For those interested in the full roster of developers participating in this year’s showcase, it’s worth noting that Team Cherry is not among them. This list will help you identify other games that will be sharing their updates and announcements during this vibrant showcase.
