We have three more publishers revealing their lineup of games for this year’s BitSummit 7 Spirits.
Following the initial announcement of the two biggest studios (Nintendo and Sony) for the Japanese indie event of the year, three more publishers announce their list of playable titles for the BitSummit 7 Spirits Event to be held in Kyoto on June 1 and June 2. The event will be held in the Kyoto International Exhibition Hall Miyako Messe and is set to feature a huge lineup of industry leaders, developers, publishers, and even musicians, as the Kyoto yearly event is known as the go-to place for all indie titles.
For a more detailed list at the schedules for the panels and events, check it out here. You can also go the official BitSummit page to find out more about the upcoming event this weekend.
