This morning, organizers for The Triple-i Initiative held their now-annual gaming livestream, as they revealed multiple updates for major indie game titles on the way. This is a fun mixed bag of more high-profile titles that have caught the public eye and have either become mainstay titles getting updates or new DLC, or new games yet to be released that have earned a ton of buzz. Plus, a couple of popular AAA titles are being developed by indie studios. We have the full list of everything they showed off during the stream, which you can check out above.
