This makes so much more sense.
I watched the gameplay trailer and was so confused as to why Ubisoft thought it could get away with so blatantly ripping off Dead Cells.
Still confused why it’s in the “triple-i” showcase, though. I know the definition of “indie” has become more and more loose as of late, but I’d think the core concept of being self-published would have to be a pre-requisite.

HMMM, that doesn’t actually sound “independent” to me, no matter how many “i” you add…
I know that the Dead Cells folks are one of the founding members of this iii thing.

I agree that having a AAA*(A™)* publisher probably shouldn’t get you classified as indie. It’s been increasingly common though to see large publishers back indie studios in recent years. Dave the Diver and Nexon’s relationship comes immediately to mind for recent example.
