Therefore, this event will mark a historic moment," stated Edward Arifin, Project Manager of the Indonesia Game Festival 2024, during the press conference for IGF 2024 in Jakarta on Thursday, November 28, 2024.

During the same occasion, Shafiq Husein, Chairman of the Indonesian Game Association, announced opportunities for the gaming industry in Indonesia, saying, "AGI recognizes the potential talent within our nation. We are opening collaboration opportunities to optimize the local gaming industry through an 'Open Call' initiative aimed at all local game developers, who will subsequently participate in the 'Local Game Pavilion' showcase in the near future."
