The showcase features exhibitors including THQ Nordic, 505 Games, Team17, and Untold Tales, with around 60 titles. It includes proximity voice chat, mini-games, Easter eggs, and developer schedules. Community feedback drives new features for each event.
The event is available globally on May 23 and 24.
According to Nikos Perifanis, each exhibitor prepares unique experiences using game assets, making every booth different. Daniel Thorsen noted that virtual events need to be enjoyable, and a browser setup would not work. For the first time, attendees can choose game characters from other games as their avatar. Thorsen added that players can jump in and out as much as they want. Perifanis said the team goes to the community to add features to the development pipeline.
Endix has not confirmed future events beyond May. The company has not disclosed any pricing for the showcase.
