Tokyo Indie Games Summit Attendance Grows Significantly

By Scott AdamsMarch 3, 2024

TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT, the digital and in-person Japanese event showcasing developers and indie games from both local talent and around the world, grew its 2023 attendance levels by 45% with 4500 visitors during this year’s 2-day indie extravaganza in Kichijoji, Tokyo.

126 hotly-anticipated indies, from new reveals to updates for fan favorite titles, enjoyed two days in the Kichijoji spotlight, including:

  • Touhou Genso Wanderer -FORESIGHT-, the roguelike RPG Touhou Project fan game from publisher Phoenixx and developer AQUASTYLE, rebuilds sacred shrines on PC via Steam on Wednesday, May 15th, 2024
  • SKY THE SCRAPER, the window-cleaning roguelike action game developed by Ryo Kobuchi and published by HYPER REAL and Toydium, coming to PC in 2024
  • Mika and the Witch’s Mountain, the package-delivery adventure co-developed by Chibig and Nukefist, distributes joy next year to PC via Steam in 2024

…and many more! For a list of all games showcased during TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT 2024, click here.

Panel discussions filled with legendary gaming industry figureheads filled the weekend, including Touhou Project creator Jun’ya “ZUN” Ōta and Japanese game developer/comedian Noda Crystal, who discussed life as an indie game developer. Sony Interactive Entertainment, SACRA MUSIC, and indie publisher Phoenixx took a glimpse at the future of indie game music, and Digital Hearts showcased the next generation of AI localization.

“TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT’s year-over-year growth has been very inspiring, and we’re already putting together plans to make 2025 the best year yet,” says Kazunori Sakamoto, CEO of Phoenixx, founder of TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT. “Many thanks to our sponsors, partners, and exhibitors who have chosen our venue to show their work. And a huge thank you to all of our visitors. We cannot wait to see you again next year!”
