gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2026: 10 Korean Game Startups

At gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2026, the largest gaming event in Southeast Asia held on October 29-30 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, a specific pavilion named KOREA-GAME INNOVATION HUB features 10 gaming and technology companies from South Korea. Every company shares a single goal: finding local partners to help introduce their businesses into Thailand and Southeast Asia.

Located in the Business-to-Business (B2B) zone, this pavilion is jointly organized by the Korea AI·Software Industry Association (KOSA) and Megazone Cloud under the Large-Small Business Joint Overseas Expansion Support Program, which assists large and small South Korean enterprises in expanding overseas together. The participating companies cover almost the entire gaming supply chain, ranging from game development studios, sports gaming platforms, audio production teams, and game publishers to payment systems and anti-cheat technologies.

Techsauce visited all 10 booths to discuss what each company brought to the event, their current focus, and their perspectives on opportunities in Thailand. Although their businesses vary significantly, when asked about their ideal partners, almost every booth gave the same answer: 'partners who understand the players and the culture of this market.'

Starting with Hound13, an Action RPG studio showcasing DragonSword, the team is preparing a major free-to-play content update in December with English and Chinese voiceovers. Meanwhile, Deother, founded by a solo developer, brought a sci-fi-inspired fighting game aiming to feature native languages for each character, including Thai fighters speaking Thai. SUNCYAN also joined with its volleyball game The Spike to build long-term IP strength.
