Vietnam GameVerse 2025: When AKT Conference Interpretation Buffs Vietnam's Gaming Industry

2025/05/29

Vietnam GameVerse 2025 transformed the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center into a blazing arena for the gaming industry, bringing together over 200 international speakers and nearly 100 domestic and international enterprises. With the theme "Connecting Verses," this year's event truly served as a significant catalyst, marking a new level up for Vietnam's gaming sector. In this multilingual battlefield, AKT's conference interpretation services provided the silent support that kept everything running smoothly.

The event extended beyond offline spaces, broadcasting live on VNExpress with seamless coordination from tech giant FPT – a perfect combo that helped spread GameVerse's energy to millions of viewers across the country.

Vietnam GameVerse 2025: What Made This Map So Hot?

After two seasons of successful island conquering, Vietnam GameVerse 2025 has officially climbed the ranks to become Southeast Asia's premier gaming event. This isn't just where gamers gather to exchange martial arts knowledge, but a genuine ecosystem hub – essentially where gaming industry talents from coders to marketers, from developers to publishers and tech giants come together to form teams, farm resources, and share strategies.

Speaking of scale, with global gaming industry revenue reaching nearly $200 billion USD – a figure that makes the combined revenue of Hollywood and K-Pop idols pale in comparison – it's understandable why Vietnam, with over 50 million gamers and a top 5 revenue position in Southeast Asia, would host such a significant event.

The Strategy for Building Vietnam's Gaming Industry?

The forum featured 11 solo presentation rounds and one panel discussion "Building and Booming," treating attendees to exceptional combos:

"Trends in Game Development": Giuseppe Stasolla from Google Play opened the map on new game development trends, revealing how generative AI can help businesses craft advertising content faster than hacking.

"Building Engaging Communities": Laura Li from Riot Games shared strategies for building outstanding gaming communities and the potential of a sustainable esports ecosystem – where gamers can grind professionally.

• "Leveraging AI in Games": Dheeraj Raina from Mastercard showcased how AI buffs gaming power, from enhancing player experience to automating advertising on platforms like Meta.

Conference interpretation (also known as simultaneous interpretation) occurs when speakers unleash their skills and within seconds, interpreters in soundproof secret chambers, equipped with headphones and microphones, also execute their moves with immediate translation. This work demands extreme concentration, like a gamer facing the final boss, with no room for lag even for a second. Therefore, interpretation booths always require two interpreter teammates to cover for each other.

How AKT Translation Delivers Real-Time Information Transfer at Tech Events?

In the interpretation arena, especially at mind-bending tech events like GameVerse, choosing a reputable interpretation guild is absolutely crucial. AKT (A Key Team) stands as a golden name in the interpretation field with over 24 years of battle experience, having cleared more than 5,000 large and small event dungeons, accumulating 30,000 hours of live interpretation. No wonder AKT is likened to "Hermes of event interpretation" – fast, accurate, and extremely professional.

To deliver excellent interpretation in technology, especially gaming, is no different from mastering both lore and game mechanics. Knowing only language skill trees isn't enough damage! AKT understands this, so 100% of their personnel are trained like elite soldiers, not only excelling in foreign languages but also being well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge, from history, geography, culture to tech specifications.

Vietnamese Esports: From Village Pond to Open Seas

Vietnamese esports is no longer a rookie but has leveled up to become a formidable contender on the international stage. From recreational activity, esports has evolved into a professional movement, opening an entire new career skill tree: professional gamers, commentators who talk like gods, analysts who read maps like books, and content producers with millions of views.

The Vietnamese fan community is absolutely on fire! Evidence shows Vietnamese ranked as the 3rd most-watched language globally at last year's League of Legends World Championship finals – demonstrating just how hardcore our gamers and fans truly are. With a golden demographic and widespread internet access, Vietnam is gradually establishing itself as an esports destination – a promised land for major tournaments.

AI: Hack Tool or Double-Edged Sword for Gaming?

AI technology is infiltrating every corner of the gaming industry like a versatile script. AI helps auto-farm numerous tasks, from procedural content generation (automatic content creation – imagine AI drawing maps and creating NPCs automatically) to machine learning optimization (helping games run smoother and advertisements hit targets more accurately).

Generative AI also serves as a valuable assistant for businesses to create advertising content that's both fast and creative. Platforms like Meta Horizon bring mind-blowing AR/MR experiences. However, industry veterans also warn: overusing AI-generated content might make games become too similar to each other, like mass cloning, losing their unique quality and leading to creative homogenization.

How Can Vietnamese Games Go Far While Maintaining Pure Quality?

The journey of taking our bell to fight in foreign lands for Vietnamese games faces many challenges. Balancing international gamer satisfaction while preserving Vietnamese soul is truly a difficult quest. Nguyen Ngoc Bao from VTC compared games to digital bridges that connect and preserve culture.

To achieve this, Vietnam needs a comprehensive national strategy, creating high-quality made in Vietnam game IPs based on our vast treasure trove of legends and history – ensuring we loot both reputation and gold. Naturally, we need support packages for small gaming startups, those promising rookies. Most importantly, we must change society's mindset to value games as much as music and film, while promoting our homegrown products more vigorously. Hits like Amanotes with hundreds of millions of downloads or the "Eastern Spirit" project demonstrate that cultural authenticity is our secret weapon.

How Are Vietnamese Gaming Developer Talents Being Trained?

Good news for future game devs: 2024 marks the first time Vietnam offers university-level gaming programs with 200 positions at the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT) – no more self-taught success and solo rank climbing! Golden advice for newbies: Clearly define your desired class, grind technical knowledge, and continuously update patches to avoid being out of meta.

For Vietnamese esports to soar high, we need policies, long-term investment, and collective effort. With these steps, Vietnam can absolutely become a formidable gaming hub in the region.

Speaking of potential, Vietnam doesn't lack resources. First, we must mention our army of young, creative, highly-skilled human resources. Vietnamese programmers, especially AI wizards, are ranked as martial arts masters worldwide. Passion serves as an extremely powerful mental buff for young people pursuing this path. Moreover, gaming is no longer just child's play but has been recognized as a cultural industry, a sophisticated digital bridge to export Vietnamese culture worldwide. With a treasure trove of 4,000 years of history, Vietnam possesses an endless map with countless plot twists and unexplored lore for gaming.

For our interpretation team, this wasn't just an exciting and enthusiastic arena, but also an opportunity to showcase skills in seamless bidirectional English-Vietnamese and Vietnamese-English interpretation.
