The G-STAR Organizing Committee has announced the latest updates and content details for the G-STAR 2025 international gaming exhibition.

This announcement covers a wide range of topics: the new B2C Hall 2 exhibitors, the final speaker for G-CON 2025, the Indie Showcase 2.0: Galaxy participant list, and the onsite registration schedule for G-STAR 2026.

The B2C Hall 2, already packed with major international developers, is seeing a significant addition: Blizzard Entertainment. It has been 12 years since Blizzard last participated in G-STAR back in 2013.

Blizzard plans to showcase an interactive booth based on its iconic IP. Beyond the hands-on demos, they are preparing various onsite events to engage directly with fans. They are also collaborating with the committee to operate content for the 'G-STAR CUP' esports program.

With this, Hall 2 will feature Blizzard Entertainment, Bandai Namco Entertainment, Sega/Atlus, Warhorse Studios, and Unity. The B2C Hall 2, combining demos of representative titles, fan events, and interactive programs, is expected to be the core experience space of G-STAR 2025 and a stage to experience global gaming trends.

The Indie Showcase 2.0 is also expanding. A diverse array of domestic and international indie developers will participate. With overseas participants accounting for half of the total, visitors can sample games from various countries. Collaboration with global partners such as Steam Deck (distributor: Komodo) and Unity has also been strengthened to operate immersive booths and exhibition programs.

The final speaker for the G-CON 2025 conference has been unveiled: film director Byun Sung-hyun. Director Byun has presented various works that shed light on modern Korean society, such as 'Good News', 'The Merciless', 'Kingmaker', and 'Kill Boksoon'.

In the session 'Speaking of the Times Through Black Comedy – Director Byun Sung-hyun’s Narrative', he will explore his latest work, 'Good News', which topped the Netflix Korea charts, focusing on his narrative structure that satirizes society by intersecting fact and fiction, and his directing methods that dramatically induce audience immersion.

He will also reveal insights into the non-linear structures and aesthetics of conflict seen in 'The Merciless', 'Kingmaker', and 'Kill Boksoon', as well as how he transforms cynicism toward the era into fresh creative energy.

Through this session, Director Byun will present methodologies to creators in various industries, including games, film, and music, on how to interpret the world through the power of 'story', design emotions, and expand a single IP.

Meanwhile, G-STAR 2025 will accept applications for next year's event. Companies wishing to participate in G-STAR 2026 B2B or B2C can register on-site during the exhibition. Companies that register on-site will receive benefits such as priority booth location assignment and discounts on participation fees.
