Neowiz's affiliated Round 8 studio announced on the 22nd that it will participate in the 'Global Game Conference (G-CON 2025, hereinafter referred to as Zicon)' held during the international game exhibition 'G-Star 2025'.
A total of four key developers, including Choi Ji-won, Lee Sang-kyun and Jin Seung-ho of Round 8 Studios and Kwon Byung-soo, the narrative director, will participate as speakers. Lee Jong-beom, the author of Naver Webtoon "Doctor Frost", will be the modulator (host of the interview). They will share their own philosophy under the theme of 'Game Narrative' and present various perspectives on 'What is a Good Game' based on their actual development experience. The ZICON will be held for two days from November 13th to 14th at BEXCO Convention Hall in Busan, and the Neowiz session will be held at 2 p.m. on the first day of the 13th.
Neowiz is the only Korean game company named in this year's Zicon speaker lineup. Round 8 studios, not individuals, participate as a team and attract attention. The event will feature world-class speakers, including Yuji Horii of Japan's representative RPG 'Dragon Quest' and Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, senior author of 'Clair Opsquir: 33 Expedition'.
Round 8 Studio Director Choi Ji-won and narrative director Kwon Byung-soo were in charge of general directing and overall narrative planning of global box office hits 'P's False' and DLC 'P's False: Overture', respectively. Director Kwon is also well-known as a novelist who wrote the authentic fantasy novel `The Queen's Genesis.' Director Lee Sang-kyun, who is the creative director of the acclaimed `Mabinogi Hero Exhibition" and wrote the first-generation Korean fantasy novel `White Lonyaf Gang", and director Jin Seung-ho, who secured a strong fan base through scenarios and directions of the `Black Room" and "Grey City" series and "Verid Stars", joined Neowiz in 2024 and is working on developing a story-oriented PC and console game.
