■ Event Overview

■ What is TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT?

TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT is a new indie game event that started in 2023 in Kichijoji, Musashino City, with the ambition of creating a place where the talents of various creators, centered on indie games, can gather and aim for the top.

It serves as an opportunity for creators to present their work and interact with users and other creators, and for users to discover and experience new games and creators.

With the hope that new possibilities will be born and nurtured through the unity of creators, developers, visitors, and the local community, we have held the event three times in Musashino City, Kichijoji. The 3rd event in March 2025 attracted over 23,000 visitors, creating a place for interaction that transcended age, gender, and nationality.

Following this trend, we have decided to hold the 4th event in March 2026, aiming to provide an even more unique “place for interaction.” Based on feedback, we will maintain the two-day format with the first day as a business day and the second as a public day, while working to create a more enjoyable environment. The business matching system will be continued from last year, and by holding the business day on a weekday, we will create an environment that is more accessible for those with matching purposes.

We will deepen our collaboration with the city of Kichijoji more than last year, share the appeal of indie games in various forms, and value a “creator-first” approach to ensure the satisfaction of creators. We aim to create an indie game “festival” that everyone can enjoy, including creators, developers, and all visitors.

We look forward to seeing you in Kichijoji in 2026!
