After all, Indie Reside Expo is an occasion produced in Japan, so the timings don’t at all times match up with if you could be out there. For instance, I needed to be up nicely into the early morning for final yr’s occasion, however 2024 appears to have a barely extra approachable schedule. To be sure to don’t miss a single reveal, I’ve outlined the place and when you possibly can watch the occasion throughout each out there platform.
