Get ready, gamers! IGN is set to host the third annual DevGAMM Awards, an exhilarating event honoring exceptional indie games and their talented creators. Mark your calendars for November 18 as you tune in to IGN.com and IGN's YouTube channel to witness a jaw-dropping extravaganza live from Lisbon, Portugal. Over the past two years, this prestigious event has garnered over 1,000 game submissions and recognized nearly 30 winners such as Manor Lords, Cairn, Keep Driving, Drop Duchy, and Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall. This year, four new categories have been added to the mix – Best Small Team Game, Best Game in Early Development, Meaningful Game, and DevGAMM Choice, bringing the total number of categories to 13. Lerika Mallayeva, founder of DevGAMM, expresses her excitement about these new awards, stating, "Creating a meaningful game is no easy feat, especially with limited awards and funding opportunities for this type of work. We aim to give developers crafting games that challenge players' perceptions greater visibility." The awards will be judged by more than 150 industry professionals from renowned companies like PUBG Studios, Riot Games, Unity, Epic Games, Meta, Larian Studios, and Kepler Interactive. Indie developers and small studios worldwide are invited to participate in the DevGAMM Awards, with free submissions accepted until September 7, 2026. Teams will receive valuable feedback and recommendations from the judges throughout the process. To learn more about the DevGAMM Awards, visit devgamm.com/awards2026/.
