The Splitscreen game conference will officially take place in Zagreb, Croatia, from April 20 to April 22, 2027, succeeding the shuttered Reboot Develop following its organizer's corporate bankruptcy order to deliver a relaxed, low-stress networking gathering for global video game creators. According to verified reports from GamesIndustry.biz, Splitscreen has been established by an entirely fresh management team determined to preserve the signature 'half-holiday, half-work' atmosphere that once made Reboot Develop an essential Mediterranean destination for studios. Reboot Develop collapsed after years of financial turmoil, culminating in an official bankruptcy order that left indie creators, sponsors, and veteran speakers searching for a collaborative European hub. The new leadership group emphasizes sustainable event execution, ensuring venue stability, transparent speaker accommodations, and direct access to publishers without the administrative chaos that doomed its predecessor. Much like the progressive operational pivots seen in the [GDCA 2027 Rules: Open Submissions Replace ICAN [Confirmed]](/news/gdca-2027-submission-system-rules), Splitscreen prioritizes democratized networking and friction-free commercial matchmaking. European developers will gather at the Croatian capital to pitch unannounced multiplayer pipelines, live-service architectures, and cross-platform mechanics, revitalizing an indispensable regional pillar for European gaming innovation.
