Indie Games Utsav, the indie game showcase event dedicated to showcasing games that Indian developers have created is coming back for another year from 7 to 13 December 2026.
Much like last year, the IGU showcase will be once again held under Comic Con India, but this time the event will be held in Bharat Future City, Hyderabad.
IGU will feature 30 indie game titles from Indian developers. Some of the notable ones include Raji: Kaliyuga, which will have its first-ever playable demo open for the public in India during the event, and Nodding Head Studios, the dev team behind the game doing a trailer breakdown.
Some of the games announced till now, like Cosmic Race, Appa, Fendershot, Bloodfire, God of Cricket – Streetz, Supercharged and Twin Flames, were also featured in last year’s IGU.
Many new titles have also been added to the lineup, including Raahi, Abashed, Dodo Duckie and more. The showcase also aims to “give independent studios an opportunity to present their work to a wider audience and connect with fellow developers and industry stakeholders, while allowing visitors to discover some of the original games being developed across the country.”
Two days: 9 and 10 December will be reserved for conference and workshop days which will feature panel discussions, keynotes and practical sessions covering game development, funding, publishing and scaling.
IGU features a mentorship and knowledge programme in which selected developers will be given direct access to international game developers, venture capitalists and global gaming industry leaders. Each participant will be able to choose six mentors for dedicated one-hour, one-on-one sessions, spread across three to four days, with a structured follow-up call happening after the event.
The mentorship and knowledge programme will feature professionals from across the global gaming industry, including representatives from Ubisoft Paris, thatgamecompany, Upside Up Games AB, Nodding Heads Studio and Cassini Sound, alongside founders and leaders from independent studios such as Hyperboreal, Goldpact Goblins and Papercoda Games.
