Unity said on the 6th that it will showcase a large lineup of indie games from around the world at G-Star 2025, to be held at the Busan Exhibition & Convention Center (BEXCO) in Busan from the 13th to the 16th.
Unity will run the "Unity Indie Showcase Zone (hereafter Unity World Zone)" with a world tour theme in the BTC Hall of Exhibition Hall 2 in connection with "Indie Showcase 2.0: Galaxy." It plans to introduce a total of 33 indie games drawing attention from the global indie scene across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania, and to hold a variety of community events.
Representative titles include ▲ the puzzle adventure "Chants of Sennaar" by France-based Rundisc ▲ the sandbox adventure "Core Keeper" by Sweden-based Pugstorm ▲ and "AI LIMIT" by China-based Sense Games. In particular, "Chants of Sennaar" has received an "overwhelmingly positive" rating on Steam since its 2023 launch for its original premise of understanding a divided world through language deciphering, and its artistry and completeness have been recognized with nominations at major awards such as The Game Awards and BAFTA.
It will also highlight achievements by Korean indie developers. Team Tapas' "Witch's Garden" was selected as a nominee in the most anticipated game category, and Handy Communications' "Magic Ink," Rilasoft's VR rhythm action "Vibe Punch," Twotone Studio's "Shooting Girls," and Lubam's "Cat Villa," among others, were each nominated in the graphics, multiplayer, and mobile categories.
On-site, in addition to indie game demo booths, there will be various programs including a stamp event, Unity limited-edition merchandise, a Unity "Acorn Pocha" networking event for industry professionals, and mini sessions such as an indie survival guide and "starting development as a non-major," led by advocates Kim Beom-joo, Kim Jae-ik, and Oh Ji-hyun.
Song Min-seok, head of Unity Korea, said, "As a platform that accompanies developers from the first moment of creation to a successful launch, we prepared this Indie Showcase Zone with the hope that the challenges and experiments of indie creators around the world, including Korea, will connect with more users," adding, "We will continue to support original and ambitious indie games so they can move onto a larger stage."
