Baltic Games Fest Announces First Games for the 2026 Event

A total of 50 indie teams can present themselves free of charge at the Baltic Game Fest 2026 in Neumünster. The organizers have now announced the first wave of participants.

The Baltic Games Fest in Neumünster will take place for the second time next year and is scheduled for April 24 and 25. It was developed as a further development of the successful B2B conference Baltic Dev Days, which Seal.Games organized in Kiel. Seal.Games managing director Boris Zander is also the driving force behind the Baltic Game Fest, which is organized by Holstenhallen Neumünster in cooperation with Seal.Games and Off the Beaten Track.

“The commitments from the first teams show that the Baltic Games Fest is becoming an established fixture on the scene. Our goal was to create an event that is equally exciting for developers, trade visitors, and gamers – and we are succeeding in this step by step,” says Zander.

The occasion is the release of the first wave of games and teams – all of them are form Germany –  that will participate in the Baltic Game Fest 2026. A total of 50 slots are available to indie developers free of charge.

“We are delighted that game developers are once again showing such great interest in our event,” says Dirk Iwersen, managing director of Holstenhallen Neumünster and organizer of the Baltic Games Fest. “It's already clear how much passion, innovation, and diversity there is in the German indie scene.”
