South Korean game companies are set to appear in succession at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne and Tokyo Game Show 2026 in Chiba, highlighting new PC, console and subculture titles. Krafton plans a large booth and five new games, while Pearl Abyss teams up with Samsung Electronics to show Crimson Desert. NC runs a B2B booth via its North American unit. Firms also cite overseas-focused revenue and wider platform strategies behind the push.

A compact inspection robot, the Ugo Mini, has been unveiled to address labour shortages in data centre facility checks. The robot features a small body and an adjustable camera pole that extends up to 186 cm, allowing inspections from floor-level piping to near-ceiling instruments. It navigates autonomously using 3D lidar, records equipment with a 4K camera and converts gauge readings into data via external AI, producing reports automatically. Deployment cases were also presented.
