BitSummit 2025: Celebrating Indie Game Creativity in Kyoto
BitSummit 2025 is set to be a remarkable celebration of indie game creativity, showcasing 120 unique titles from Japan and around the globe. Scheduled to take place from July 19 to July 21 at the Miyako Messe in Kyoto, this year’s theme, “Summer of Yokai,” pays homage to the fascinating supernatural creatures of Japanese folklore. With a history of growth and innovation since its inception in 2012, BitSummit continues to be a pivotal platform for indie developers to share their bold ideas and connect with a passionate audience.
The event’s organizers, the Japan Independent Games Aggregate (JIGA), have expressed their excitement about the diverse lineup this year. Co-founder John Davis noted the overwhelming number of submissions from developers worldwide, emphasizing the festival’s role in championing creativity and community within the indie gaming scene. As the first day is dedicated to industry professionals, the weekend will open its doors to the general public, allowing fans to engage directly with the games and their creators.
With tickets already on sale, both local and international attendees can look forward to an immersive experience filled with innovative gameplay and networking opportunities. As VGC continues its partnership with BitSummit, we can expect comprehensive coverage of the event, capturing the essence of what makes this expo a must-visit for indie game enthusiasts.
