Two games from GSA are part of the upcoming London Games Festival showcase on-site and on Steam in April: "Lucky Tower Ultimate" by Studio Seufz from Stuttgart, Germany and "Echo of the Waves" by Oneira Games from Geneva, Switzerland. To the B2B gathering Games Finance Market however, no country from the region has sent a delegation.
With the ninth London Games Festival coming up from 9 to 25 April 2024, the organisers have announced the showcased games. These will not only be playable on-site on various event during the two-week event collaboration, but also be showcased in a Steam front page sale during that time. Several more games will be added through different communities during the two week event window, which might not necessarily be reflected in the Steam event.
Among the games are two titles from the GSA region, namely "Lucky Tower Ultimate" by Studio Seufz from Stuttgart, Germany in the 'Comedy' section and "Echo of the Waves" by Oneira Games from Geneva, Switzerland as 'International Innovator'.

Games Finance Market lacks GSA delegation
Strikingly, in the B2B event part called Games Finance Market that aims to connect investors and publishers with games creators, no country delegation from the GSA region can be found. Partners this year are delegations from Italy, France, Sweden, Finland, Romania and Canada, however.
