The full-fledged curtain has risen on the '2025 Korea Game Awards'.
Hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, co-sponsored by Sports Chosun and electronic newspapers, and organized by the Korea Game Industry Association, the Game Awards is the most prestigious award ceremony in the Korean game industry, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, and is also a place to encourage those in the game industry, which has grown into the centerpiece of Korea's culture and economy, and to determine the best games that have shone through the year.

In recent years, amid intensifying global game competition, the Korean game industry continues to show good performance by introducing new works of various genres and platforms at the same time at home and abroad. However, while there are a few new releases compared to last year, expectations are high on what works will be received and honored this year in terms of workability and box office success.
