Digital Convention Returns to Steam in October
Unlike a traditional in-person gaming convention, LudoNarraCon takes place digitally through Steam, making its participating games and programming accessible to players online.
The format centers specifically on narrative video games, providing an event for independent developers whose projects emphasize characters, storytelling, world-building and other forms of interactive narrative.
The 2026 edition marks the eighth year of the event and continues LudoNarraCon’s focus on bringing together developers, media creators and players around story-rich games.
LudoNarraCon 2026 will run from October 8 through October 12 on Steam. With 50 games included in the Official Selection and a program of developer discussions and gameplay streams, this year’s event will offer players several days to explore upcoming and established narrative-focused indie titles.
