They acquired PDXCon from their then-sister company on November 30, 2020. They arranged to hold one more PDXCon in 2021, before rebranding to NCCon.

In December 2020, KPA entered board games publishing by establishing a board games division within NC En Masse. It will also absorb Rebellion Unplugged and White Wolf Publishing to form board games divisions within NC UK and the newly established NC Nordic.

Before January 1, 2021, Gung-Ho, Sumo and Zynga shareholders sold and absorbed Gung-Ho Online Entertainment, Sumo Digital and Zynga respectively into KPA, with SoftBank receiving 3% stake on the venture and the shareholders getting minor stakes in Styhon's parent company Salovaara Ventures Group.
