Well, this is a pretty exciting one for us.
Not long after launching Indie-cent Exposure into the world, we’ve officially joined ENDIX 2026 as a media partner, and honestly, it feels like exactly the sort of event this site was built for.
If you have not heard of ENDIX before, it is essentially a digital gaming expo designed to be accessible to everyone, no matter where they are in the world. No travel costs. No hotel bookings. No queueing for six hours while surviving entirely on overpriced convention hall chips and questionable energy drinks. Just a free online gaming event that anyone can jump into from home.
And this year, it is getting even bigger.
ENDIX is returning on May 23–24
ENDIX returns on May 23–24, 2026, and for the first time, the event will be available directly through both Steam and the Epic Games Store.
That alone feels like a genuinely smart move.
Digital events have existed for years now, but one of the biggest challenges has always been visibility and accessibility. Putting ENDIX directly onto the platforms where millions of PC players already are removes a huge amount of friction immediately. No hunting for weird downloads. No digging through random websites trying to figure out how to attend. Just install it and jump in.
According to ENDIX founder Nikos Perifanis, the entire event was built around the idea that great gaming expos should not only be available to people who can afford to physically attend them.
“Cost and distance should never be the reason someone misses out on a great gaming expo. We built ENDIX so that anyone, anywhere, can walk in.”
And honestly, that mentality is part of why this caught our attention in the first place.
A digital expo that actually leans into being digital
A lot of online events still feel like someone awkwardly trying to recreate a physical convention centre in the least exciting way possible.
ENDIX sounds like it is trying to avoid that.
Every booth is apparently built directly by the developers themselves using real in-game assets, designed to feel like an extension of the games they are showing off rather than just another static menu screen with a trailer slapped on it. There will be demos, reveals, showcases, competitions, and dedicated themed spaces like Theatrum Obscurum, a horror-focused trailer showcase that sounds deliberately designed to make people a little uncomfortable.
Which, naturally, means we are absolutely going to wander in there and regret it immediately.
The exhibitor list already includes names like THQ Nordic, 505 Games, Team17, Untold Tales, Gameforge, Amber, RibCage Games, and Out Of Bounds Games, with more still to be announced.
But honestly, the thing we are most interested in is the indie side of it all.
That is where we come in
One of the things ENDIX keeps pushing is visibility for developers who might otherwise get buried at larger gaming events, and that lines up pretty perfectly with what Indie-cent Exposure is trying to do as a site.
We like weird ideas. Ambitious projects. Smaller teams trying unusual things. Games with personality. Sometimes messy ones too, frankly. Those are often the projects that end up being the most interesting to talk about.
So over the course of the event, we’ll be diving into ENDIX properly. Expect coverage of indie games that catch our eye, features on standout projects, hands-on thoughts, developer chats, and probably a few moments where we emerge from a demo wondering what on earth we just played.
In a good way.
Mostly.
Alienware competitions, mini-games, and digital chaos
ENDIX 2026 will also feature branded mini-games and competitions in partnership with Alienware, including live challenges across the expo floor with prizes ranging from game keys to Alienware hardware and merch.
Which means yes, there is every chance somebody reading this wins something while we are busy getting distracted by strange indie horror booths or forklift simulators.
That feels about right, honestly.
We are genuinely excited for this one
There is something refreshing about an event like ENDIX.
Not because digital expos are new anymore, but because this one seems to understand what makes them interesting in the first place. Accessibility matters. Visibility matters. Letting smaller developers actually breathe matters.
And as a brand-new site built around spotlighting indie creativity, getting the chance to jump into that as a media partner this early on is genuinely exciting for us.
So yes, expect a lot more ENDIX coverage very soon.
We’ll see you on the expo floor.
Digitally, obviously.
