It feels like there's a new video game showcase to look forward to constantly; we've just had the Future Games Show, and now, another one has popped up.
This time, it's the return of the Triple-i Initiative, a presentation devoted to games occupying the space from indies to AA titles.
There have been a couple of these before and they always feature lots of interesting games, so we've no doubt this will be worth tuning into.
The Triple-i Initiative is set for 9th April 2026 at the following times:
- North America: 9am PDT / 10am MDT / 11am CDT / 12pm EDT
- UK/Ire: 5pm BST
- Europe: 6pm CEST / 7pm EEST
- Asia/Oceania: 1am (Fri) JST / 12am (Fri) AWST / 2am (Fri) AEST
We know some of the studios taking part in the showcase, perhaps most notably including Evil Empire, the developer behind Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, the recently announced new entry in Konami's beloved franchise.
The game is confirmed to be part of the show, alongside around 40 others during its 45-minute runtime. That number will include a mix of news about already-announced games as well as brand new announcements.
Granted, not every game shown will be heading to PS5 and PS4, but there will be at least a handful of things to look forward to.
Will you be tuning in for this? Tell us in the comments section below.

Typical lame PushSquare headline making it like the game is a PS5 exclusive. Should be "Konami's New Castlevania the Star of 40+ Game Showcase Presentation Next Month".
That’s a pretty big game for them to showcase. Good on them to be gaining traction. Personally, I feel like I’m waiting on a number of releases to give us updates in the AA and indie space.
Spring 2026 has basically begun and no update from Mina the Hollower. Nothing from Witchbrook in basically a year. Big Walk got a small spot in the SoP, but with basically no details. We got a release date for the new Bubsy game, but if it’s coming in May, where’s the press for it? Future Knight’s had a demo, so maybe it’s about time for that one. Orbitals has been a summer 2026 release since December last year when it was announced. These are just a few of the big indies and AAs on the docket right now. I’m not expecting a line-up like this, but it would be nice to have a release schedule this year beyond April with more titles than GTA. I know there’s a few release dates out there, but there’s not many.
That new Castlevania has so much potential. Excited about that one.
I never played Castlevania Legends and i heard it was scrap from the canon timeline. So i'm curious how they gonna used Sonia Belmont and make her canon.
I wish they'd go back to 3D like Lords of Shadow. I'm sick of the 2D nostalgia bait.

@JohntheRaptor 100% this. I love Lords of Shadow 1 & 2.
I dont mind these showcases popping up once a month or so. Theirs usually atleast a handful of announcements at these that interest me.
@SodaPop6548 Same. Symphony of the Night is still one of my all time favorites and no other Castlevania has grabbed me the same way. I know this is unlikely to hit those highs but I'm excited to try.
@JohntheRaptor me too buddy, me too!
@Almost_Ghostly @Almost_Ghostly to be clear they do it for SEO, PureXbox does the same, and has said the same reason. It gets them more clicks. But I agree it’s annoying there have been several times I’ve had to check if a game is only coming to Xbox or PS5 due to their titles.
@themightyant Yeah. Intentionally misleading people to get clicks is shady af.
