Waycoder, supported by the Jeonnam Global Game Center under the Jeonnam Information & Culture Industry Promotion Agency (hereinafter referred to as the Agency), has officially inked a publishing deal for the North American and European markets.

The Agency attended the 2025 Tokyo Game Show (TGS) to facilitate business networking for game developers based in the Jeonnam region, while also pushing for overseas publishing partnerships and investment opportunities.

The standout performer here is undoubtedly Waycoder. Thanks to their presence at TGS, their title 'Astonishia Story' has secured a publishing deal for North America and Europe, leveraging the global network of a major Japanese gaming firm. This is far more than a simple rights sale; it is a full-scale global publishing agreement that covers everything from localization and marketing to final distribution.

An official from the Agency remarked, "This achievement by Waycoder serves as an iconic example demonstrating the sheer potential of the Jeonnam gaming industry," adding that, "We will continue to spare no effort in providing multifaceted support so that our local companies can yield tangible results on the global stage."

Meanwhile, the Agency has been working tirelessly through the Jeonnam Global Game Center to support international exhibition appearances, business matching, and local marketing initiatives. Building on this momentum, they plan to further solidify the regional game ecosystem throughout the second half of the year by supporting participation in major global game shows and attracting external firms to the province.
