The DLC Chained Echoes - Ashes of Elrant, announced yesterday, will have its European premiere at the Baltic Games Fest in April 2025. In addition, Deck13 Spotlight will showcase other games on the exhibition floor.

The Baltic Games Fest in Neumünster (Germany) will see the European premiere of Chained Echoes - Ashes of Elrant. Chained Echoes, which won the "Best German Game" (DCP) award in 2023, will receive a major expansion next year with Ashes of Elrant. "We are very pleased that Deck13 Spotlight, the publisher of this extraordinary game, has chosen the Baltic Games Fest to present Chained Echoes - Ashes of Elrant to a broad audience in Europe for the first time," says Jens Bahr, Managing Director of Off The Beaten Track and co-organiser of the Baltic Games Fest. Boris Zander, Managing Director of Seal.Games adds: "Deck13's commitment to the premiere at Baltic Games Fest confirms our concept of creating an exclusive boutique event with exceptional games for a broad audience."

In addition to Chained Echoes, Deck13 Spotlight will showcase the titles Drova, Spindle, Elements Destiny and Pocket Wheels in the exhibition area. "In Deck13 we have found an excellent content partner for our event. Not only are they bringing great games, but the audience will also get many interesting insights from the developers during the talks at Baltic Games Fest," says Dirk Iwersen, Managing Director of Holstenhallen GmbH.

The Baltic Games Fest (BGF) aims to offer indie developers a stage where they can present their games to the public, while at the same time providing them with the know-how and contacts they need to successfully market their games. In cooperation with Seal.Games and Off The Beaten Track, Holstenhallen Neumünster GmbH is organising the first Baltic Games Fest at the Holstenhallen Congress Center Neumünster from 11 to 12 April 2025. The Baltic Games Fest is the further development of the B2B conference Baltic Dev Days, organised by Seal.Games in Kiel in 2019 and 2023. The BGF is supported by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Transport, Labour, Technology and Tourism of the State of Schleswig-Holstein.
