Berlin, May 12, 2025 | In just 100 days, the doors will open in Cologne for the world’s largest games trade fair. This also marks the return of Home of Indies, the central hub for independent game developers and indie fans. Berlin-based communications agency FACTORY-C is once again bringing together indie studios from around the globe at a shared booth in the Indie Area in Hall 10.2, right at the heart of Gamescom.
Tune in: Indie Stream Live at GamescomThis year again, an exclusive streaming booth will showcase the exhibitors' games live. This allows indie fans who can’t attend Gamescom in person to get a glimpse of the studios’ projects. Exhibitors will also have access to a dedicated meeting area for business appointments and MeetToMatch.
“In just four short years since launching our shared booth at Gamescom, Home of Indies has seen remarkable growth and evolution with each edition. This momentum makes us even more excited for this year’s event. We look forward to celebrating the vibrant indie scene alongside familiar faces, emerging studios, and players from around the globe –showcasing games that truly inspire and captivate,” says Christiane Gehrke, Senior Event Communication & Sales Manager at FACTORY-C and the initiator of Home of Indies.
