Abragames Aims to Promote Brazil’s Game Industry into a Long-Term Ecosystem
The Brazilian Game Developers Association, known as Abragames, announced its participation in Gamescom Latam 2026, focusing on the promotion of Brazilian games and plans to position the country as a global hub for game development, both internally and as an international partner. This partnership is supported by the Brazil Games and ApexBrasil, the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency.
Gamescom Latam 2026 attendees will be able to play 36 Brazilian games at booths spread throughout the event, with 14 from Abragames member studios and 22 from the Accelerator program. While every game showcases a unique blend of local Brazilian culture and globally acclaimed gameplay, a few titles stand out.

Among them are Starlit Worldfrom Rockhead Studios, an action-adventure game focused on exploring to reclaim the world, and Kakele Onlineis a 2D MMORPG for both mobile and PC that has been running since 2020. One game I am watching is FRONT OF EDENis an upcoming pixel art RPG that even includes a universe-expanding comic.

Abragames Wants to Connect Brazilian Studios with International Publishers
We all know that today, the gaming industry is busier than ever, and it is very easy for your game to get lost in this sea of red. Abragames’ project aims to transform and promote the Brazilian local industry into a long-term environment of respect and increase its presence in the world market, as Rodrigo Terra, president of Abragames, says:
“Brazil is entering a decisive phase in its emergence as a global game development hub. Our presence at Gamescom Latam 2026 goes beyond showcasing the top titles—it underscores the power of a unified national system. Through our efforts with the Brazil Games, we allow Brazilian studios to make meaningful connections, grow their ambitions, and compete successfully on the international stage.”
With this in mind, Abragames is doing everything possible and putting in place several key features to help Brazilian studios connect with international publishers, investors, and partners, be it through networking, sound sessions, or even professional developers.

The gaming industry has lost one of its greatest talents.
I Brazil Games Business Speed Meetingfor example, it allows Brazilian studios to participate in rounds of communication with international investors, show their portfolio, and collect immediate feedback and business opportunities. In the same line, we have Abragames Pitch Arena 2026a competitive session that gives winners global exposure and access to international events in 2027.
Through our efforts with the Brazil Games, we enable Brazilian studios to make meaningful connections, increase their ambitions, and compete effectively on the international stage.
To ensure that each Brazilian studio meets the expectations of global investors, Abragames also offers XDev Executive Bootcampincluding mentoring, workshops, and one-on-one meetings to professionalize developers. Mentoring includes experts such as Dalma Bolech (LevelUp XDev), Donald Harris (FarBridge), Jason RM Smith (Game Caviar), and Shiew Yeu Loh (Forge Bridges). Finally, we have Abragames Industry Track Talksas the name suggests, the panels have talks about market evolution, publishing, collaborative development, and Steam operations.
All Gamescom Latam 2026 visitors can see for themselves that Abragames’ investment is paying off by visiting the Association’s booth and checking out the Brazilian games on display. As a Brazilian, I hope that the local industry continues to grow and show the world that Brazilian art is not something small and we have a lot to offer.
