KT Growing Native Indie Games, Releases Three Titles Including Sowon and IRA on Game Box

[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Cho] KT announced on the 25th that it will newly release three indie games on its cloud gaming service ‘GameBox’. The titles are Pumpkin’s ‘SOWON’, AB Shot’s pre-release version of ‘IRA’, and ExpoTato’s ‘Come On Baby’. By simply signing up for GameBox, users can enjoy these games for free across mobile, PC, and IPTV without device boundaries.

SOWON, unveiled to customers for the first time through GameBox, features a character named Sowon who embarks on a journey to find her father, depicted with fairy tale-like graphics. IRA is an oriental fantasy-themed shooting action game. Come On Baby is a casual game featuring several Super Baby characters enjoying various sports, a title likely familiar from arcade experiences.

To celebrate the release of the three indie games, KT is holding an event from now until March 12th where customers who sign up and play the indie games on GameBox will be entered into a draw to win prizes such as monitors and home speakers. Detailed information can be found on the GameBox application and website. KT is also running a 50% discount promotion on GameBox monthly subscriptions until the end of June this year.

This indie game release is the result of ongoing collaboration between KT and the Korea Indie Game Association. Both parties plan to continue efforts to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic indie games. KT will also participate as a sponsor in the Indie Arcade organized by the Korea Indie Game Association at the end of March to support indie game developers and promotion.

Park Hyunjin, Executive Vice President and Head of KT’s Customer Strategy Division, stated, “KT has closely collaborated with the Korea Indie Game Association to popularize cloud gaming and enhance the competitiveness of domestic indie games. Moving forward, we will strive to invigorate the entire gaming ecosystem and provide differentiated experiences to customers by pursuing cooperative projects with various partners, including game content.”
