What's New in Indie Gaming?


Best Indie Games Newsletter

By Clement • 13 April 2025

Hello Indie Game Fan!

Relative to last week's Switch 2 Direct, it was a relatively muted week with nothing too crazy happening, with Blue Prince and Crashlands 2 really standing out for new releases, along with the Triple-i showcase and the regular news.

My output has not been there as of late, I too have my struggles with sitting down to get work done, so if you are as well, you're not alone! Maybe next week will be better

Best Indie Games Summer Showcase will be returning this year, Tuesday, June 3rd 2025, 8AM Pacific!

Best Indie Games Newsletter By Clement • 27 April 2025 Hello Indie Game Fan Reader!

Best Indie Games Newsletter By Clement • 06 April 2025 Hello Indie Game Fan! The Switch 2 Direct was the big event of the week and man did they bring out some heavy hitters in indies (more in be video below), including, curiously enough, a 5-second mention in a sizzle reel for Silksong, with apparently the big news being that it has slopes which might have contributed to it's extremely long development cycle.
