A couple of weeks after the debut of the SAGA Barcelona Game Fest and the confirmation of the second edition, we delve into discovering some of the more than 200 indie video games that could be seen there. The merger of the three fairs was a success, and the presence of local creators continued to be a fundamental pillar of the experience. In particular, the attention given to creators by the IndieDevDay team and the presence of the Catalan language, promoted by Plataforma per la Llengua, an inheritance from the original SAGA, stand out. A very positive new element this year has been the clear signage of the languages available for each game, as at a glance it was possible to see if the Catalan option was available.

The first edition of BCN Game FestThe event, organized by the IndieDevDay team, was a resounding success. Attendance grew to over 17,000, and the event showcased the community's international expansion with the participation of numerous studios from abroad. On the business side, more than 1,200 business meetings took place, and up to 40 events were held. publishersBoth local and international attendees were able to interact with the 180 independent studios present at the fair.

Spain's most attended video game industry fair, IndieDevDay, is evolving and becoming the new BCN Game Fest. The event is consolidating its position as a benchmark in the sector, with greater projection and international presence. "The fair is no longer just a local meeting point; it's the new benchmark in southern Europe," states the organizers. The eighth edition, the most ambitious to date, expects to attract more than 17,000 attendees over the three days. The formula of dedicating Friday exclusively to professionals and students is repeated, while the general public has access throughout the weekend.
