Hello, Vikings!

This is THECOVE, the development team behind Badassgard.

First of all, we'd like to sincerely thank everyone who visited our booth at Unite Seoul and played Badassgard. It was an incredibly meaningful experience for our team to meet so many of you in person, hear your thoughts, and receive your valuable feedback.

Now, our next stop is Busan Indie Connect Festival (BIC) 2026!

Badassgard at Busan Indie Connect Festival (BIC) 2026

August 14–16, 2026
BEXCO, Busan, South Korea

Come visit our booth to play the latest build of Badassgard and chat directly with the developers. We'd love to hear your thoughts, answer your questions, and talk about the game with you.

BIC Booth Event

We've prepared a few special gifts for everyone who stops by and play our game!

All players receive: A Badassgard sticker, hand fan
Players who clear Theme 0 receive: A limited-edition Badassgard shotgun shell keychain. (Limited quantities available each day while supplies last.)
Meet the Viking Developers! : The developers themselves will be welcoming you at the booth in full Viking-themed cosplay! Feel free to take photos with us, chat about the game, and share your feedback.

We can't wait to meet all of you in Busan.

And Then... to Germany!

After BIC, we'll be heading to Germany during Gamescom to introduce Badassgard to even more players and industry professionals.

We'll also be hosting an offline Focused Group Test (FGT) to gather in-depth feedback from international players. In addition, we'll have a booth at Courage Cologne, a networking event held during Gamescom, where we'll showcase Badassgard to indie game fans, media, creators, publishers, and other industry professionals from around the world.

All of the feedback and insights we gather during these events will help us continue improving Badassgard and make it the best game it can be.

We'll keep attending events around the world, meeting players face-to-face, and shaping Badassgard together with our community.

We will continue to share updates and related preparations through X and Discord.

We hope to see you in Busan, and then again in Germany, as the journey of Badassgard continues.

Thank you for your continued support, and we'll see you soon!
