Indie game studios from Baden-Württemberg can now apply for one of five spots at the THE LÄND booth within the Indie Arena Booth at Gamescom in Cologne (August 26-30, 2026). MFG Baden-Württemberg is once again supporting with exclusive spaces at the Indie Arena Booth. All indie game studios based in Baden-Württemberg are eligible to apply – regardless of whether they have received funding from Games BW (by the way: the next submission deadline is July 30, 2026!). The Indie Arena is considered the platform with the highest visitor reach for independent developers at Gamescom.
After the application deadline, an expert jury will decide which studios are selected. Particular emphasis will be placed on the quality and innovative potential of the submitted games.
At last year’s Gamescom, the THE LÄND booth was presented for the first time at the Indie Arena Booth. Four indie studios from Baden-Württemberg showcased their games there (including two AMCRS members, kaleidoscube and Studio Seufz):
- “Morriton Manor Stories: Nordic Whispers” by Application Systems Heidelberg (Heidelberg)
- “RECUR” by kaleidoscube (Stuttgart)
- “Lucky Tower Ultimate” by Studio Seufz (Stuttgart)
- “Walk The Frog” by Walk the Frog (Ludwigsburg)
Apply now until April 13, 2026! More information & application
