Independent Games Festival 2024: tra i finalisti è presente un gioco italiano

L’Independent Games Festival, o IGF 2024, è un evento dedicato al mondo videoludico indie. Poco fa sono stati svelati i finalisti che potranno aggiudicarsi gli ambiti premi a varie categorie.

Ricordiamo che poco tempo fa abbiamo potuto seguire i The Game Awards 2023, con Baldur’s Gate 3 proclamato GOTY assoluto del 2023. Poco fa abbiamo scoperto anche le nomination per i DICE Awards, quindi è un periodo piuttosto intessante.

Ebbene, tra i finalisti dell’IGF 2024 è presente anche un team tutto italiano. Il gioco in questione è Mediterranea Inferno, candidato in ben tre categorie. Nel team troviamo EYEGUYS, Lorenzo Redaelli e Santa Ragione.
