The jury of the European Video Game Accelerator (EVA) 2025 has reviewed all submissions and selected 21 studios and solo developers from across Europe.

This year, there are no teams from Germany or Switzerland, but one from Austria—12B3 Games. The selection process does not follow a fixed country quota, ensuring a diverse and dynamic mix of participants.

The selected teams will take part in an intensive six-month mentoring program, featuring workshops and one-on-one mentoring sessions on key topics such as pitching, funding, and studio management. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to build a network of publishers, investors, and fellow developers, while gaining valuable insights into PR, marketing, and community building—essential aspects of running a successful studio.

The following studios have been selected for EVA 2025:
  • 12B3 Games (Austria)
  • 3hills (Montenegro)
  • AFTERNATURE productions (Netherlands)
  • Bitmap Galaxy (Slovakia)
  • CHARK Studio (Lithuania)
  • Clever Trickster (Belgium)
  • Cold Sector (Sweden)
  • Damnatio Games (France)
  • Finitude (Netherlands)
  • First Pick Studios (France)
  • Heden Smugglers (Ukraine)
  • Herodot Studio (France/Tunisia)
  • Humble Reeds (France)
  • Misfit Village (Croatia) – Mladen Bošnjak
  • Odd Dreams Digital (Sweden) – Denis Asensio Palacios
  • Ravine Games (Malta)
  • Red Mountain Games (Spain)
  • Tiny Bull Studios (Italy)
