NCSOFT hosted the opening session at G-STAR 2025, unveiling five new titles that reflect the company’s vision for the next era of gaming.
Taekjin Kim’s Opening Remarks: “G-STAR is Where NCSOFT’s Present Meets its Future”
Delivering the keynote address, Taekjin Kim, Chief Creative Officer (CCO), shared the significance of NCSOFT’s participation and outlined its development philosophy and vision.
Kim expressed his gratitude:
“We are here today thanks to the trust and support of our players and partners. Taking on the role of G-STAR’s main sponsor for the first time reflects NCSOFT’s commitment to greater responsibility and driving the growth of Korea’s gaming industry.”
He addressed the transformation of the gaming landscape:
“In the past, a few blockbuster titles shared the market, and players followed those trends. Today, gaming is far more dynamic—players don’t just play: they watch, share, and create, turning their experiences into new content. We constantly ask ourselves: when our games launch, how will the world have changed? Will they stand out amid cultural shifts driven by new technologies and new generations?”
On NCSOFT’s core values:
“NCSOFT has always been passionate about creating games that bring people together and spark joy. Since our founding in 1997, we’ve built worlds filled with stories that players laugh at, grow with, and remember. That’s the essence of NCSOFT’s identity.”
Looking ahead:
“We want to express NCSOFT’s identity in more diverse ways—reimagining MMORPGs and creating distinctive experiences in genres like shooting, action, and subculture. Even today, games provide comfort, inspiration, and strength to players everywhere. G-STAR is not just a showcase of our present—it’s the stage where we open the first chapter of the future.”
