Indie Assemble, the global celebration of indie video games organized by Excaliber, has come to an end. On 5-11 May 2025, over 600 development studios and publishers from 63 countries came together under one banner, showcasing more than 1,200 titles to Steam users – all to highlight the creativity, originality, and passion behind indie game creation. And players responded enthusiastically: during the week, Indie Assemble reached over 3.3 million impressions and more than 100,000 unique views.
“Many development studios reached out to express their satisfaction” says Giorgio Catania, Founder of Excaliber and promoter of the initiative. “For many of them, this was the first real opportunity to showcase their products to a broad audience beyond their own communities.
The great success of Indie Assemble has confirmed that this is the right path to follow. That is why we are currently in talks with Steam to further develop the initiative and bring it back in the future with new features and, hopefully, lots of exciting new games from studios all around the world. ”
