Insomnia the Gaming Festival Brings the Hottest Games and the Biggest Names to i72, Celebrating 25 Years of Gaming Culture

March 26th 2024

An Extensive Roster of Software, Content Creators and Stage Shows Awaits at Gaming’s Unmissable Easter Event!


At Insomnia, games rule supreme and i72 will be overflowing with classic favourites, exciting new titles and the hottest indie hits to play. There’s something for every age, every taste and every gamer to enjoy, where the hardest decision will surely be what to play first! A taste of what awaits at i72 includes:

Premium Play At Insomnia!

Escape from Tarkov: Arena from Battlestate Games has you navigating the hidden arenas of Tarkov as you play the competitive PvPvE first-person shooter with tactical team modes. With ZERO Sievert from Modern Wolf, players are thrust into a tense top-down extraction shooter as you scavenge a procedurally generated wasteland, loot gear and explore what’s left of a devastated world.

Sker Ritual from Wales Interactive is a high-octane, 1-4 player co-op survival game where the story, action, and freaky-looking masks combine to make a horror game you’ll remember for years to come, and on the lighter side of the gaming spectrum, Alien Hominid Invasion from Behemoth is a co-op run ‘n’ gun packed with madness, mayhem, and a whole lot of explosions!

Let’s Hear It For The Indies!

Arguably the most vibrant and eclectic sector in gaming, Insomnia the Gaming Festival is bringing the most-wanted new indie hits to the show, here are just a few that you’ll find at i72.

Morgan: Metal Detective from Studio Morgan is a cosy, first person metal detector adventure game, where you reunite residents of the beautiful Cornish Island of Glasden with things they have lost, and in High School Hills from Spirulena, gamers play as Bow, a teen who moves to High School Hills where dreams and nightmares merge with reality.

Eight Dragons 2 from Extend Mode allows up to eight players to fight their way through a crime-ridden city in an open-world adventure, taking on the gangs that have overrun the city and crushed the spirit of its citizens, and Foolish Mortals from Inklingwood Studios casts you as Murphy McCallan where you encounter ghosts, voodoo, and an evil phantom who wants to nab the treasure for themself!

In Chaos Kart from BakaBros, brawling and racing go hand-in-hand as you master your favourite powerful champions with unique abilities and personalities. Mycelium Guardians from Spirulena is an isometric strategy game, where you command a collective of fungi in a post-apocalyptic Earth, and Hex Racer from Lakea Games has you racing through an asteroid belt, hitting checkpoints to increase your score!

Slap-It Together from Head Tilt Games is a wildly weird co-op game full of slapstick shenanigans and zany zombies. Put on a hat, pick-up a bat, and slap for survival in the greatest game show around! If you’re thirsty for more, check out Ascend from Miami Avalon! Play with a top-down view as you control a young woman who must face a pilgrimage up a mountain, completing various puzzles to gain access to the Ascend in order to restore the Moon's power.
