GAME DAYS 2026, organized by the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), begins today, Monday, November 9, and runs through November 10 at the SKY31 Convention on the 31st floor of Lotte World Tower in Seoul.
The event brings together South Korean game industry professionals to share results, AI use cases, and discussions on the sector’s future. November 9 hosts the Console Game Developers Conference. November 10 highlights the AI Transformation (AX) in Game Development Showcase and the Serious Game Forum.
What happens at the event?
The AX Showcase, starting at 10 a.m. in the auditorium, presents real-world cases of AI use in game development and shifts in the industry environment. In the afternoon, companies selected by the mobile games, developers, and AI associations present results from technology adoption.
The Serious Game Forum, at 1 p.m. in Conference Room B, focuses on the intersection of AI NPCs and indie games, plus the expansion of serious games. It includes presentations on AI NPC development processes and digital healthcare game cases, followed by expert discussions.
The event also features awards such as the Excellent Game of the Year Awards and GIGDC Awards, along with an exhibition and hands-on experience zone.
Why this matters
South Korea remains one of the most important hubs in the global games industry. Discussing AI transformation (AX) at an official KOCCA event helps map how studios are applying the technology in practice and what paths may open for advanced serious games and NPCs.
