Indie Live Expo is Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series that aims to connect fans with indie games worldwide. It’s also one of the most packed events you could ever watch, with this year’s boasting more than 150 indie games to sink your teeth into.
Of course, Indie Live Expo is an event produced in Japan, so the timings don’t always match up with when you might be available. For example, I had to be up well into the early morning for last year’s event, but 2024 seems to have a slightly more approachable schedule. To make sure you don’t miss a single reveal, I’ve outlined where and when you can watch the event across every available platform.
When and where to watch Indie Live Expo 2024
Indie Live Expo 2024 will start at 5 p.m JST/1 a.m. PT/9 a.m. BST on May 25. Mercifully, it’s a Saturday, so whether you’ve got to stay up well into the night or get an early start if you want to catch it, you’ve got Sunday to recover from all the indie reveals and announcements.
While there will likely be a host of co-streams for the event with dozens of creators, there are three official livestreams you can watch. These are as follows.
YouTube Twitch Twitter/X
I’ve included the official YouTube video for the livestream in this article above. If you can’t wait to talk about indies with everyone else who will be watching, you can head to the channel and sit in the chat. The Twitch and Twitter/X livestreams likely won’t go live until the event itself has begun or is about to start.
Last year, I found that the YouTube livestream was the best way to watch the event because it seemed to be both the most stable and the most up-to-date. In some cases, Twitch is where a showcase is streamed to initially before being diverted to other platforms, but it seemed like YouTube was the priority in 2023, so it could be again in 2024.
While Indie Live Expo isn’t giving much away when it comes to the games it has to show, it has revealed a few we can expect to see at some point during the showcase. These are Piggy One Super Spark, a hyperkinetic platformer by Hanabushi and Hako Life, Boyhood’s End, an adventure game following the boy with the lowest human score in the universe, and Witch & Lilies, a 3D dungeon-crawler where you foster relationships between the characters.
The concepts of these games are far more niche than what you might be used to, and the showcase is almost certainly going to bring more of them to the table. However, each title isn’t wacky or different for the sake of it. They’re titles real people cared about enough to make into games so others could enjoy them, too.
