[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Neowiz's "P-ui Geojit" has become the first Korean game to win three awards at Europe's largest game show, "Gamescom 2022."
According to the Gamescom organizing committee on the 27th (local time), "P-ui Geojit" received the "Best Action Adventure Game" and "Best Role-Playing Game" awards at the Gamescom Awards ceremony held in Cologne, Germany.
Earlier, on the 24th, "P-ui Geojit" won the "Most Anticipated PlayStation Game" award.
