The Triple-i Initiative Returns, Keen Games Takes Part
– 2 min read
The no-frills indie showcase The Triple-i Initiative returns this year. There will be no changes to the show's concept for its second edition. The first participants have been announced, including Keen Games.
The Triple-i Initiative is back for round two with a mix of world premieres, gameplay reveals and other surprises. The date of the showcase is yet to be announced, but a number of participants have already been confirmed, including Ghost Ship Games from Denmark (Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core), 11 bit Studios from Poland (The Alters), Amplitude Studios from France (Endless Legend 2) and Keen Games from Germany (Enshrouded). It will be streamed on YouTube, Twitch, IGN, Gamespot and Steam.
"We're still newbies in this whole 'video game showcase business', so our goal with the second edition is not to try to fix something that isn't broken. The show was well-received last year so we stuck to the same short and impactful formula while making it bigger and better of course! Players can expect a show packed with back-to-back exciting announcements and ... that's it. No ads, no hosts, no sponsors, just games," said Benjamin Laulan, Evil Empire's COO.
The first showcase took place on 10 April 2024, with announcements including Slay the Spire 2 and The Rogue Prince of Persia, as well as reveals of Risk of Rain 2, Palworld and Vampire Survivors. According to "some data guys", as the organisers call them, the first attempt garnered over 13 million video on demand views and has a 99.97% positive rating on YouTube. The Triple-i initiative began as an idea for Evil Empire to announce The Rogue Prince of Persia, but that plan morphed into an event where similar studios could get together and show off their 'next big thing'.
"This year, Evil Empire doesn't have a flashy new game to unveil (sorry!), but since we loved making the show we want to keep the party going for everyone anyway. Dropping all these announcements from our corner of the gaming world in one big blast makes sure the entire show is fun to watch for our players, and for us too! We're very thankful to all our fellow studios who worked with us to make this possible again," said Bérenger Dupré, Evil Empire's Marketing Director.
