The Triple-i Initiative will officially return on April 10, 2025, at 9am PDT/6pm CEST.
The full studio line-up has been revealed, with over 30 game announcements locked and loaded.
BORDEAUX, France, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Evil Empire's Triple-i Initiative will officially return on April 10, 2025, at 9am PDT/6pm CEST, exactly one year after the first showcase burst onto the scene by revealing Slay the Spire 2 and The Rogue Prince of Persia, DLCs for Brotato and Vampire Survivors, and major updates for Risk of Rain 2 and V Rising.
Now they're coming back harder for round two, with 30+ announcements for games such as Enshrouded, X4: Foundations, and Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core, and publishers like tinybuild, Playstack, and Hooded Horse.
All participating studios have been revealed, including the returning Stunlock Studios (. 'Last year, being asked to participate in the Triple-i initiative was a great opportunity to reach new players,' said Stunlock Studios (V Rising). 'Combining our efforts with many hugely inspirational and talented peer studios was too good to pass up, and coming back for another year was an easy choice.'
Viewers will be treated to a heady mix of world premieres, gameplay reveals, launch dates, demo releases, and more — all in a speedy 45 minutes with no ads and no hosts. While the show is meant to be short and punchy, viewers can stick around after the showcase to see a post-show segment featuring deep dives with developers eager to share more about their upcoming titles. The showcase will be streamed on YouTube, Twitch, IGN, Gamespot, Steam, and other sites.
Marta Matyjewicz, Marketing Manager at Playstack, adds: 'We had been saving our big announcement for a special showcase. We were amazed by the quality of last year's Triple-i, so when the opportunity came to be a part of it, we knew we had to take it. It's truly an honor to showcase our game alongside so many awesome titles.'
The showcase will also mark the beginning of a week-long sale on Steam and other platforms like Epic, Humble and Heybox, featuring games from both this year's and last year's edition.

Carlos Ponce Joins MariVi the Master Navigator as the Voice of Papá in Breakout Animated Series Now Streaming on Nuestra.TV and YouTube
[Media: Access more images and video HERE] LOS ANGELES, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emmy-winning actor, Latin Grammy nominated artist, and international screen star Carlos Ponce has joined the animated children's series MariVi the Master Navigator, as the voice of Papá, a hard-working and loving immigrant father. The series, now streaming for free on and YouTube (@WeAreMariVi), recently surpassing 100,000+ subscribers, brings to life the emotional nuance of growing up between two cultures – a Latino and an American one. Rooted in the acclaimed work of Maria (Lopez) Twena, MariVi the Master Navigator tells the powerful story of a first-generation Hispanic family learning to call America home. Through the eyes of MariVi — a resourceful bilingual/bicultural daughter — the series shines a light on the quiet heroism of Latino children of immigrants who serve as interpreters and cultural ambassadors, shaping the future of their families and communities. 'Navigating two cultures can be incredibly challenging, particularly for the Hispanic community, where collectivism and self-reliance often stand in contrast,' said Twena. 'In MariVi the Master Navigator, each character brings their own strength as they adapt to new surroundings, a new language, and an unfamiliar world. It was essential that the voice of Papá, as the head of the household, felt authentic. We're incredibly grateful to have found that voice in Carlos.' 'Papá isn't just a supporting character, he's the foundation,' said Carlos Ponce. 'He reminds me of the fathers I grew up around: hardworking, proud, sometimes stubborn, but full of heart. I saw parts of my own life in him. It's a character that feels deeply real, and I'm honored to give him a voice.' The casting of Ponce, whose work spans blockbuster films (Julie & the Phantoms, Murder Mystery 2, Couples Retreat), hit TV series (Santa Diabla, 7th Heaven), animated hits (Rio, Ice Age: Collision Course), the Spanish-language narration of all Harry Potter Audible books, and chart-topping Latin Albums, adds star power and legitimacy to a project that champions representation and cultural pride. Ponce's voice performance is a timely tribute to immigrant fathers whose quiet sacrifices often go unseen. With Father's Day approaching, his role as Papá offers a heartfelt celebration of their love, strength, and everyday heroism. More information on and @wearemarivi on social media.
