IGF 2021 Finalists Revealed

The upcoming Game Developers Conference (GDC) has revealed the Independent Games Festival (IGF) finalists this year. While there is plenty of variety throughout, it is worth noting that the stylish adventure video game Genesis Noir leads the group with four different nominations, including for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. The virtual IGF is part of the virtual GDC 2021, which is set to actually take place later this summer from July 19th through July 23rd.

More specifically, the winners of the categories will be announced at the Independent Games Festival Awards on Wednesday, July 21st, at 7:30PM ET/4:30PM PT. While we've collected the full list of nominations, the IGF also lists a number of honorable mentions for each category, and you can check them all out as part of the official announcement right here.
