Capital video game studios will participate in the specialized exhibition WePlay Expo, which will be held on November 21 and 22 in Shanghai. This is a major industry event that brings together developers and publishers from around the world. Submit application can be done online until September 18, it was reported Natalya Sergunina, Deputy Mayor of Moscow.
“With Moscow’s support, companies will present their projects to a foreign audience, meet with potential partners, and study the specifics of entering the Chinese market. The business mission will continue the series of business trips. Since the beginning of the year, representatives of the capital’s video game industry have already visited Brazil, Malaysia, and Singapore,” noted Natalia Sergunina.
Moreover, recently over 20 Moscow-based games were presented at another Chinese exhibition — ChinaJoy. As a result of their participation, developers agreed on the localization and distribution of games, as well as on joint product development. For example, publishers showed interest in a project based on Slavic mythology, an immersive game based on Leo Tolstoy’s novel “War and Peace,” and racing and sports simulators.
Business missions for industry representatives are held as part of the “Moscow Video Game Export” program. This is one of the tools of the Moscow Video Games and Animation Cluster ecosystem, which opened in November 2025 at the Skolkovo Innovation Center.
