major Game Companies shift Focus to AGF as G-Star Attendance Declines
Ilsan, South Korea – November 24, 2025 – A notable trend is emerging in the Korean game industry: major players, including the ‘3N’ – NCSoft, Nexon, and Netmarble – are increasingly prioritizing participation in the AGF (Agri-Food Game) event, signaling a shift in strategy as attendance at the G-Star convention wanes. This year’s AGF, co-hosted by Aniplus, Daewon Media, Sony Music Solutions, and D&C Media, will be held at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 1 from November 5th to 7th.
The move comes as large game companies reassess their event strategies, with several announcing their absence from G-Star this year. Simultaneously,the proportion of subculture games featured at AGF is rising,attracting both developers and a dedicated fanbase.Limit Zero Breakers is participating in AGF, as is Clover Games with ‘Heaven Hellz,’ and Studiobiside, showcasing their recently launched title ‘Star Savior.’
NCSoft is providing materials for coverage,with a strict prohibition on resale or database use. The AGF is rapidly becoming a key event for the Korean gaming community, notably for subculture enthusiasts, offering a platform for developers to connect with players and showcase new titles.
