The Korea Artificial Intelligence Game Association announced that a total of 35 indie game developers and participating teams will take part in "Indie Arcade," a domestic indie game exhibition brand hall operated in conjunction with the global game exhibition 2026 PlayX4 hosted by Gyeonggi Province.

This event will be held at KINTEX in Ilsan from Thursday, May 21 to Sunday, May 24, starting at 10:00 AM, and will feature indie games of various popular genres, including roguelike action, RPG/simulation, and adventure/puzzle.

The Association stated that it has organized exhibition zones by genre to allow visitors to view the exhibition more conveniently and experience games that suit their tastes. In the Roguelike & Action Zone, visitors can find titles centered on fast-paced combat and gameplay based on replayability, while the RPG & Simulation Zone showcases works emphasizing worldviews, growth elements, and management content. Finally, in the Adventure & Puzzle Zone, visitors can experience a variety of games centered on storytelling, exploration, and puzzle elements. Exhibitors and teams are preparing exhibitions across various genres, covering not only PC and console games but also mobile platforms. They plan to provide visitors with a broader gaming experience through content that enhances on-site interaction and interactive elements. During the event, the operation will be conducted in a hands-on manner, with developers personally running game demonstrations to gather user feedback and communicate with visitors. It is expected that this will expand the points of contact between indie game developers and users, and facilitate substantive exchanges regarding game development processes and content direction. The Association explained that it curated the exhibition by selecting noteworthy indie games based on a comprehensive consideration of gameplay, completeness, and on-site experience elements. Visitors are expected to be able to witness the diverse attempts and creative development directions of the domestic indie game market all in one place. Vice Chairman Hong Young-ki stated that the Indie Arcade was designed as a space where visitors can directly experience the diversity and potential of domestic indie games, and asked for much interest and anticipation as visitors can encounter indie games of various genres and platforms in one location.
