The 2026 IndieCraft awards ceremony took place on October 15 at Hyatt Place Seoul Pangyo. Hosted by Seongnam City and co-organized by the Seongnam Industry Promotion Agency and the Korea Mobile Game Association, the event concluded a seven-month program that included exhibitions at Gamescom and GXG 2026.
The grand prize in the domestic category was awarded to 1HP Studio for their title Inari. The game is described as a shuriken-based action platformer featuring an Eastern-inspired setting where mythology meets steel. It was praised for its high level of completion.
Winners were determined by a combination of document reviews and user-led FGT evaluations. Other domestic honorees included Wayway for the roguelike Akseon and Circle From Dot for the shooter Kusan: City of Wolves. The challenger category, focused on student developers, recognized Plutarchos for the tactical FPS Theseus, alongside Seed Studio and Trinut Studio.
Organizers emphasized that these awards are intended to foster long-term growth. Hwang Sung-ik, co-chairman of the organizing committee, stated that the association will provide ongoing support for investment, publishing, and international expansion to ensure the recognition leads to tangible success for the developers.
