New York, NY, April 24, 2025 - The 2025 Tribeca Festival, presented by OKX, today announced its official games program, which celebrates the convergence of games, entertainment, and culture. This year's slate features nine selections that exemplify potential in phenomenal storytelling and innovation through interactive experiences. Each selection is eligible for the Tribeca Games Award, which honors an unreleased game for excellence in artistic storytelling. The games gallery will host free playable demos of this year's selections exclusively at Pier 57, which will be open to the public from June 11-15.

The program features several world premieres, including SLEEP AWAKE, an immersive horror game where players navigate depraved death cults and otherworldly forces; and Dispatch, a superhero workplace comedy where players juggle managing a dysfunctional team, making high-stakes decisions, and balancing their quest to become a hero.

This marks our fifth year of spotlighting games as Tribeca Official Selections, and we are proud to build upon a legacy of championing visionary creators who are redefining the possibilities of interactive storytelling, said Casey Baltes, Vice President of Tribeca Games and Immersive. This years selections showcase a diverse range of voices from around the world, each exploring identity, emotion, and perspective in unique and impactful ways. We're honored to continue serving as a launchpad for these incredible games, and we're excited to see how audiences resonate with their stories.

Previous Tribeca Festival Official Selections for Games include titles such as Blue Prince, praised by critics for its innovative design and dynamic environment following its release earlier this month; the award-winning Goodbye Volcano High, lauded for its striking art style and emotional narrative; NORCO, the inaugural Tribeca Games Award winner, celebrated for its richly layered storytelling upon its 2022 release; and Venba, the award-winning narrative cooking game that has earned acclaim for its heartfelt storytelling and meaningful celebration of culture.
