IndieCraft returns to Gamescom after three years, ready to showcase South Korean indie games and their developers to the global stage.

The Korea Mobile Game Association announced on the 20th that it will operate an IndieCraft promotional booth at Gamescom 2025, the world's largest game exhibition held in Cologne, Germany, to accelerate the global expansion of Korean indie titles. IndieCraft is an indie game festival hosted by Seongnam City and co-organized by the Seongnam Industry Promotion Agency and the Korea Mobile Game Association.

Located within the B2B exhibition hall, the Gamescom 2025 IndieCraft booth serves as a hub to support selected developers in exploring global markets while highlighting the creativity and competitiveness of 'K-indie games.' The booth will feature demos of key titles, consultations with global publishers and investors, and a broad promotion of the Korean indie game industry's achievements.

The IndieCraft secretariat has prepared dedicated stations for hands-on gameplay via PC and mobile devices throughout the three-day event. Furthermore, a directory book has been produced featuring information and works from a total of 68 developer teams, including the top 49 teams in the domestic and community categories and 19 teams in the university student category. This directory book will be distributed to international buyers and industry insiders, providing practical assistance for the featured teams as they attempt to enter overseas markets.

Meanwhile, IndieCraft is actively facilitating in-depth meetings with international publishers, investors, and partners in conjunction with the booth operations. Through participation in networking events and individual consultations, the secretariat plans to help participating developers discover concrete business opportunities, such as global publishing deals, investment attraction, and joint projects.

Hwang Sung-ik, the co-organizing committee chair, stated, "Gamescom is the epicenter of global business where game industry professionals and users from all over the world converge." Hwang added, "Through this promotional booth, we will widely broadcast the value and charm of Korean indie games and provide unwavering support so that participating developers can create new opportunities in the world market."
