At the Busan Indie Connect Festival, held at BEXCO in Busan for three days starting on August 14, five outstanding titles will be showcased: 'The Day's Newspaper', 'Light Odyssey', 'Velaster', 'Net Raiders', and 'Lone Chef'. At Gamescom, which will be held for five days in Cologne, Germany starting August 26, the Korea Pavilion will feature ten titles, including 'Project Revenant', 'Dungeon Settlers', and 'Monowave'. Participating companies will be provided with advance promotional strategy analysis reports, and various on-site events to attract visitors will be prepared for the overseas exhibitions.
