LudoNarraCon 2025 welcomed 1.8 million visitors and generated over 200k wishlists
LudoNarraCon, indie label Fellow Traveller’s annual celebration of narrative gaming, is over for another year!
From May 1 to 5, story-led titles took the spotlight with panels, interviews, and streams, as well as a Steam event featuring dozens of demos, heaps of discounts, and an official selection including some of the most promising released and upcoming narrative games.
With the dust settled and the numbers crunched, Fellow Traveller is also proud to reveal that LudoNarraCon 2025 was the biggest year ever for the event! Proving that narrative gaming is alive and thriving, over 1.8 million people visited the LudoNarraCon 2025 Steam fest page, a 50% increase on the 2024 event.
It was a huge year with the unreleased games in the Official Selection receiving more than 200k wishlists during the event. This is an average of 10K wishlists for each of the 21 unreleased titles, more than double in comparison to the 2024 edition.
The success of the 2025 event reaffirms Fellow Traveller’s support for narrative gaming and underlines the growing interest from players in story-rich titles.
LudoNarraCon 2025 may have concluded but the fun can still continue! Main theatre content produced in collaboration with media partners Remap Radio, Noclip, The Besties, and Lucy James from Friends Per Second can be viewed in a YouTube playlist.
