Introducing BIGS 2023

Banggusuk Indie
Game Show 2023?

Ever since the unwelcome arrival of COVID-19, it has been harder for indie game developers to promote their games.
So to create a launchpad for their games, we decided to start BIGS in 2020 to help the indie dev community.
For the past three years, BIGS has solidified itself as one of South Korea's most recognized Indie game shows and thrives for the co-existence of the Korean video game industry.
For the fourth time, BIGS has finished preparations to welcome more indie games from all over the world!
We hope BIGS 2023 will be the place where indie developers get their well-deserved opportunity to promote their games and a festival for gamers to find new games.
