At 'AGF 2026', set to take place this December, attendees will be able to experience a wide array of subculture games ranging from upcoming domestic and international titles to popular existing games.
AGF has been sequentially announcing participating companies via its official X account since October 19. With the sixth list revealed on the 26th, major domestic and international gaming companies including NC, Nexon, Shift Up, Smilegate, and Neowiz, along with anime and virtual content-related companies, have joined the lineup.
NC serves as the main sponsor for this year's event. NC will exclusively present 'Astrae Oratio', a neo-mythical magic RPG currently under development by Dynamis One. Setting up a 150-booth exhibition area—the largest among all participants—NC plans to offer hands-on game demos for domestic players.
On-site, various merchandise including art books containing the game's lore and early character designs will be showcased. Visitors participating in booth programs will also receive separate souvenirs. Astrae Oratio previously met international gamers at Japan's Comic Market and Tokyo Game Show 2026.
Nexon is also participating in AGF 2026, showcasing its new title 'Pareidolia'. Currently under development by Nexon Games' RX Studio, Pareidolia is a new title featuring Unreal Engine 5-based 3D graphics, live turn-based combat, and character interaction.
Notably, a Korean playable demo of Pareidolia will be unveiled for the first time at this event. Nexon will set up a booth recreating Tasogare Hall, a central living space in the game, and present interactive content where visitors can speak directly to characters or play rock-paper-scissors via voice commands. Azur Promilia, which Nexon is publishing in Korea, will also participate.
Numerous popular live-service titles are also hosting booths. Shift Up's 'Goddess of Victory: Nikke' and Epid Games' 'Trickcal Revive' have confirmed their participation, both included in the sixth list of exhibitors announced on the 26th. Goddess of Victory: Nikke stated that on-site events and stage programs are in preparation, with further details to be disclosed later.

Global gaming companies are joining as well. SEGA/ATLUS will decorate its booth with the new title 'Persona 4 Revival' alongside 'Metaphor: ReFantazio'. Google Play and Yostar are also among the participants.
Booths from various companies outside gaming can also be found.
