The Korean gaming industry is worth $17 billion based on industry estimates and is the 4th largest in the world, after the United States, China and Japan. KOCCA is a South Korean governmental agency that oversees and coordinates the promotion of the Korean content industry. KOCCA is at the forefront of the Korean government’s efforts to grow the gaming industry in Korea as part of the government’s objective to catalyze the 4th industrial revolution in South Korea.

South Korea is home to PC gaming giants like Netmarble, Nexon, and NC Soft, as well as gaming unicorns like Krafton and Pearl Abyss. High smartphone penetration, fast broadband and mobile internet, expansion of MMORPGs, cross-platform gaming and a young population with disposable income have given rise to innovative Korean game developers who produce games that have found a place in the global gaming market. Korean popular culture including Korean games, K-pop and K-drama has made waves globally.

KOCCA is bringing 15 innovative Korean indie developers with games that could be the next big thing in the global markets. This is a great opportunity for publishers or developers to discover and partner with cutting-edge games from the sophisticated South Korean market.

Below are the 15 Korean game developers who will be part of the Korean delegation.
