The stage lineup of DevGamm Lisbon 2025 was impressive, with talks from Ubisoft's Nikola Stoyanov about building Japan for Assassin's Creed Shadows, Yegor Ostapenko from GSC Game World about maps and navigation in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and many more.

Impressions from the DevGamm Award show 2025
The DevGamm party on Thursday at the Unicorn Factory event location in Lisbon's harbor area was host of the classic DevGamm Karaoke show with a professional karaoke DJ. We'll keep the private character of the party alive and won't post any photos, except for this teaser of the location. Suffice to say that the attendees where singing and partying until deep into the night.
