Indie Live Expo 2022 Has Expanded To Two Days In May
Organizers behind Indie Live Expo 2022 revealed that they have expanded the event to two days, running from May 21st-22nd. The plan for the event right now is that it will be taking place completely online as a full livestreaming showcase, which will take place across two shows to be simulcast in English, Japanese, and Chinese on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter. Plus more platforms to be revealed as they make their way closer to the event. The first day will shed a spotlight on indie games that are currently available to play when the event goes live, while the second day will focus on world premieres of brand-new titles, some of which will be unannounced until the day of the event. You can check out more about it below as we wait to find out more about panels and live performances.
