This year's Washington, D.C. leg of the annual Penny Arcade Expo will be held in just a couple of weeks, and the lineup of games from independent game developers that will be featured in the Indie MEGABOOTH has already been announced.

Over 70 indie games for PC, consoles, and tabletop platforms have been included in the roster of titles. While some of these games will be debuted for the first time during the PAX Prime event, others are going to be re-released on a different platform. 

One of the games that will be featured this year is the soon-to-be released digital role-playing strategy board game "Armello." The digital remake of a tabletop role-playing game is the first project of Australian indie game studio League of Geeks. Originally planned to be an iPad release back in 2012, the game will now come out in PC, iOS, Android, and PlayStation 4 editions beginning Sept. 1.

Pixelsaurus Games will also join the Indie MEGABOOTH at the PAX Prime 2015 by showcasing the "Captain Forever Remix" space shooter game, which already came out in PC, Mac OS X, and Linux versions back in March 2015.
