KRAFTON has announced the main on-site event lineup for G-STAR 2026, the international gaming convention held from November 19 to 22 at BEXCO in Busan, South Korea.
This year marks KRAFTON's tenth consecutive participation in G-STAR. Under the theme "KRAFTON NOW," the company will create dedicated experience spaces highlighting the unique features of its five exhibited titles, offering a rich array of on-site experiences including a PUBG collaboration with the Korean girl group IVE, demos of new titles, themed photo zones, and interactive visitor activities.
The PUBG booth will be designed around its collaboration with IVE. In-game collaborative content inspired by IVE's hit song "LOVE DIVE," such as the "IVE Mansion" and "IVE Emote Stage," will be brought to life offline. A themed photo zone blending PUBG's distinctive battlefield atmosphere with IVE's visual elements will also be featured.
Visitors can enjoy interactive experiences such as crossbow target shooting and parachute drop challenges based on mission cards. They can also mix and match keycaps with different designs to create custom keychains, or make limited-edition photocards using photos taken at the photo zone. By collecting stamps through various activities, participants stand a chance to win abundant merchandise prizes.
Furthermore, a special experience area themed around the IVE collaboration supply crate will be set up. Visitors who complete PUBG player verification can receive drinks and specialty cookies in this area.
TARAE: The Unbound will present a themed exhibition area showcasing its Eastern dark fantasy worldview, utilizing iconic in-game elements and traditional architectural designs. The on-site demo will offer the first chance to try out the new class "Dougui" (tentative translation). Additionally, a cosplayer photo zone will be available, where visitors can take pictures with cosplayers portraying characters such as the "Manshin," "Female Ninja," and "Tiger-Hunting Armored Soldier."
Age Twisters will feature a two-player co-op demo area, allowing two visitors to experience the game together. Additionally, a themed photo zone incorporating in-game characters and scenery elements will be set up for visitors to take commemorative photos.
In addition to game demos, Waltz and Jam will feature a themed photo zone where visitors can interact with the protagonists "Waltz" and "Jam." Mascot costume photo sessions will be held, along with social media interactive events where participants can upload their photo zone pictures to social platforms.
Overgeared Hero will offer demos on mobile phones and tablets, along with a themed photo zone featuring a retro pixel art style. This allows visitors to take commemorative photos as if they have transformed into in-game characters like archers, warriors, and mages.
Additionally, Steam wishlist campaigns will be held for TARAE: The Unbound, Age Twisters, and Waltz and Jam. Each booth will also prepare IP-specific merchandise gifts for visitors who participate in game demos and on-site activities.
During G-STAR, KRAFTON will also host audience-participation stage events. Details regarding performers and the event schedule will be announced at a later date.
