The Korea Creative Content Agency will set up a Korean Pavilion at Gamescom 2026. Thirteen domestic small, medium, and indie game developers will participate, and it will operate from August 26 to 28. The booth will be located at C-050g and D-051g in Hall 2 of Koelnmesse, Germany.

The pavilion's name is the 'Korea Game Roadshow'. The Agency will host on-site demonstrations and user tests at the participants' booths and arrange one-on-one business consultations with overseas publishers, investors, and distributors.

The lineup is a mix of PC/console-focused titles, mobile games, and kiosk-based experiential content. The PC/console lineup includes A-Button's FPS roguelite 'Guns & Dragons', Hypersent's 4-player co-op horror 'Backroom Cleaners', Gini Soft's roguelike deckbuilder 'Late Night Study', N-Box Games' visual novel 'The Magical Girl Next Door', Hardcoders' co-op platformer 'SEMO', Mayfly's 2D shooter 'Project Revenant', and Emotionwave's rhythm game 'Mu Drum'.

For mobile, Nanali Studio's 'Forest Island', NW's 'Copy It', and MyTurn's 'Larva Survival: Evolution' will participate. Two Hands Interactive will showcase 'Didim', a LiDAR-based indoor exercise solution, while Devunlimit will present 'Chumchum', an AI K-pop dance coaching kiosk. Ludens has entered the web/online category with 'Pandor', a 3D creation engine that runs in browsers.

Sixteen companies participated in the Gamescom 2025 Korean Pavilion. At that time, it operated both a B2B hall in Hall 3 and a B2C hall in Hall 10, running demonstrations for the general public concurrently. This year, the number of participating companies has decreased to 13, and only one B2B booth is indicated in the released guide materials. The Agency previously stated that it supported 13 companies at Gamescom 2024, recording about 400 consultations and a consultation volume of 24 million dollars (approx. 35 billion KRW). The participating companies aim to sign publishing contracts with European publishers and secure local distribution networks.

Gamescom 2026 will kick off on August 24 with the developer conference 'Gamescom Dev'. Following the eve event 'Opening Night Live' on the 25th, the main exhibition will take place from the 26th to the 30th at Koelnmesse.
