NEOWIZ (Co-CEOs Kim Seung-chul and Bae Tae-geun) announced today that it will be participating in the G-Fusion Game Fest 2025, a prominent offline game event in China. Organized by GCORES, a leading media platform specializing in games and subculture, the event will be held on June 28–29 at the Shougang Exhibition Hall in Beijing.
As part of its global publishing strategy, NEOWIZ will host a dedicated “NEOWIZ QUEST” booth, spotlighting its signature indie game competition and strengthening brand recognition in the Chinese market. The company aims to highlight both its indie support ecosystem and its growing global publishing capabilities.
■ Featured Indie Titles at G-Fusion
NEOWIZ will present three distinctive indie games at the festival, all of which will be playable on-site. Visitors will have the chance to experience each game first-hand while learning more about the NEOWIZ QUEST program and NEOWIZ’s evolution into a global publisher.
The featured titles include:
- Hello Seoul: Itaewon Edition – A story-driven puzzle platformer set in a post-apocalyptic Seoul
- Kill the Shadow – A suspenseful detective puzzle game unfolding through the perspective of investigator Lucas
- Shape of Dreams – An action-packed roguelike that fuses MOBA-style controls with fast-paced exploration
■ Raffle Event and On-Site Rewards
To engage visitors, NEOWIZ will also host a raffle event. Attendees who wishlist all three titles on Steam or play at least one game at the booth will receive a raffle ticket. Winners can take home randomized game-themed merchandise such as stickers, keyrings, and handheld fans.
■ Strategic Partnership with COREBLAZER
NEOWIZ also revealed that COREBLAZER, a support brand created by HYPERGRYPH (developer of Arknights), has been selected as a global strategic partner for NEOWIZ QUEST.
As part of the partnership:
- COREBLAZER will serve as a judge for the upcoming NEOWIZ QUEST Top 10 Developer Pitch Program in early 2026
- A dedicated COREBLAZER Award will be introduced to recognize standout NEOWIZ QUEST titles
- The two entities will collaborate to offer consulting services for Korean indie developers aiming to enter the Chinese market
NEOWIZ will also take part in the upcoming COREBLAZER Game Fest 2025, slated for July in Shanghai. The event is one of China’s premier offline gatherings focused on indie game development and creative exchange.
■ Shared Vision for Long-Term Collaboration
A NEOWIZ spokesperson commented,
“Through our participation in G-Fusion Game Fest, we aim to further strengthen brand awareness for NEOWIZ and NEOWIZ QUEST in China. Going forward, we’ll continue working closely with COREBLAZER to build long-term collaboration across publishing, investment, and cross-border developer exchange.”
