The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) hosted the Korea Pavilion at the Tokyo Game Show 2025, which took place in Tokyo, Japan, for four days from September 25th to 28th.

The Tokyo Game Show stands as Asia’s premier international gaming exhibition, where major publishers from Japan and across the globe unveil their latest titles. This year, under the theme 'Gaming, an Infinite Playground,' the event reached record-breaking proportions, featuring 1,138 companies from 46 countries operating 4,159 booths.

Fifteen domestic indie developers represented Korea this year, including: ▲ Tripearl Games' 'Level Up Player' ▲ Studio BBB's 'Monowave' ▲ Superwave Studio's 'There is NO PLAN B' ▲ Writers Games' 'THANKS, LIGHT.' ▲ Newmatic's 'Hidden Pictures: Agent Q' ▲ Gonggam Orae Contents' 'Soul Wonder' ▲ Modle Studio's 'NOT ALONE' ▲ ACT Games' 'Hello Kitty My Dream Store' ▲ Blackstorm's 'ReMemento' ▲ HAEGIN's 'Play Together' ▲ Team Tetrapod's 'Stepper Retro: Superpower Detective' ▲ Pepperstones' 'HIPS N NOSES' ▲ Guild Studio's 'Nammo' ▲ High End Games' 'PLATiNA :: LAB' ▲ Hypercent's 'Backroom Company'.

Kim Tae-joon, CEO of High End Games, noted, "The sheer energy on the floor gave us a palpable sense of the Japanese market's interest in our title." He added, "We plan to refine our game's quality based on this feedback and collaborate with Japan's Live2D to ensure a polished localization, paving the way for our global ambitions."

Throughout the exhibition, KOCCA showcased a diverse array of Korean titles spanning PC, console, mobile, and VR/AR platforms. Participating companies engaged directly with international users, securing valuable feedback and even racking up thousands of 'Wishlist' additions on Steam during the event.

Kim Nam-geol, Head of the Game & New Tech Division at KOCCA, commented, "By fostering closer communication with the industry, we managed to operate the Korea Pavilion more effectively than ever, resulting in truly remarkable achievements." He concluded, "We remain committed to providing end-to-end support—ranging from publishing and localization to platform integration—to ensure K-games continue their growth as a global cultural phenomenon."
