For sustainable growth and global expansion of the Vietnamese gaming sector, collaboration and partnerships are considered essential.

Ngo Manh Cuong, CEO of FPT Online (L, 3rd), and Laura Li (L, 4th), Director of Esports Asia-Pacific of Riot Games, signed an cooperation agreement during Vietnam GameVerse 2025.

The agreements signed during the Vietnam Gaming Forum on May 26, part of Vietnam GameVerse 2025 held in Ho Chi Minh City, clearly demonstrated this commitment.

The forum began with a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between FPT Online Services Joint Stock Company and Riot Games to coordinate the organization of the League of Legends Asia-Pacific Championship Finals in Da Nang.

This marks the first time Vietnam is hosting this regional esports event, creating new opportunities for the domestic esports industry and contributing to Vietnam's appeal as a destination for international sports and entertainment events.

Following this, FPT signed a cooperation agreement with Mastercard.

Both companies committed to researching and implementing technological solutions to support the growth of Vietnam's gaming ecosystem.

The adoption of modern financial and payment technologies aims to enhance user experience and expand the commercialization potential of Vietnamese gaming products.

Vietnam GameVerse 2025 also saw the signing of a cooperation agreement between Moonton and Funtap to release the strategy game Magic Chess: Go Go in the Vietnamese market.

This game is an expanded version of the Magic Chess mode in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

The partnership is expected to broaden market reach for both companies.

The education sector also made a notable contribution at the event. iKame Global, a leading Vietnamese game studio, donated a game technology practice room to the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT).

This initiative aims to support training high-quality human resources for the domestic game industry, laying a foundation for sustainable development.

Within the forum, PTIT signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Funtap to develop a practical training program that connects students with businesses, enhancing job accessibility for graduates.

The forum concluded with a signing ceremony between Gosu Online Joint Stock Company and Decom Holdings Joint Stock Company to collaborate on the development of the game project Hao Khi Dong A, inspired by Vietnamese history.

Hao Khi Dong A aims not only to showcase Vietnam's capability to produce original content but also to promote national pride and historical awareness among younger generations through modern video game storytelling.

Vietnam GameVerse 2025 took place from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on May 26 and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on May 27 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), District 7.

For the first time, multinational corporations from the U.S., Korea, and China participated. The Korean Game Management Committee also showed strong interest in the Vietnam Game Festival.
