Discover the Korean games market at Pocket Gamer Connects on 31st October
Dubbed the beating heart of the Southeast Asia games market, Korea is home to companies like Krafton, Netmarble and NCSoft, all placing among the top 30 global game companies by revenue.
Long a hub of innovation – and an early adopter of blockchain in games – it’s one of the top four games markets in the world, home to manufacturers like Samsung, and some of the world’s gaming heavyweights.
In terms of web3 games, developers like Nexon, Netmarble, Com2uS, Delabs Games, and Planetarium are all headquartered in the country. Animoca Brands has eyed the Korean market for a while, announcing partnerships aimed to further the company’s presence among the Korean audience in 2024.
Only beaten by Japan, the US and China, in 2024 Korea recorded 39 million players and $7.1 billion in revenue. Korea’s capital Seoul is also home to Korea Blockchain Week, one of the world’s biggest annual blockchain conferences, attracting over 60,000 attendees in 2024.
