Exodia Strengthens Global Presence at Game Dev Summit 2025 in Boracay

Boracay, Philippines — Under the tropical skies and pristine shores of Boracay, the Game Dev Summit (GDS) 2025 gathered some of the most innovative minds in the global gaming industry. Among them was Exodia, one of the Philippines' leading game development outsourcing studios, which wrapped up a highly successful participation at the prestigious international event.

Over the course of three transformative days, GDS 2025 lived up to its promise of empowering creators to CREATE MORE—facilitating a dynamic environment where game studios, developers, and industry leaders from around the world converged to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and push the boundaries of interactive entertainment.

For Exodia, the summit wasn’t just about showing up; it was about showing out—demonstrating its commitment to advancing the gaming industry both locally and globally.

Exodia’s Mission: Strengthening Global Ties, Elevating Filipino Talent

As an outsourcing powerhouse, Exodia has always been dedicated to showcasing the exceptional skills and creativity of Filipino developers on the global stage. GDS 2025 offered a perfect opportunity to reinforce this mission.

Throughout the summit, Exodia took an active role in panel discussions, workshops, and exclusive networking events, where it not only showcased its expertise but also listened and learned from other thought leaders in the field.

“Game Dev Summit 2025 was an incredible experience for Exodia,” shared John Michael Tawaging, Senior Programmer at Exodia. “We’ve built new connections, exchanged ideas with top leaders, and reinforced our reputation as a premier outsourcing partner in game development.”

The company’s participation marked a key moment in its journey to position itself as a go-to partner for studios around the world looking for world-class development solutions—whether in game design, programming, 2D/3D art, or testing.

Forging New Partnerships, Shaping New Opportunities

One of the core objectives of Exodia’s participation in GDS 2025 was to forge strategic partnerships that will shape the future of its projects and collaborations. By engaging with industry pioneers from Japan, South Korea, the US, and Europe, Exodia successfully expanded its network, opening doors for potential co-development projects, outsourcing collaborations, and technology exchanges.

“The relationships and knowledge we’ve gained will undoubtedly shape Exodia’s future,” said Nerette Que, Junior Engagement Manager at Exodia. “We’re excited about what’s next, and these new connections are key to taking our services to the next level.”

These collaborations are expected to create new opportunities for Filipino developers, solidifying the country’s position as a valuable contributor to the global gaming industry.

Exodia’s Commitment to Growth and Innovation

Exodia’s experience at the summit only reaffirmed its commitment to innovation and continuous learning. The insights gained from workshops on emerging technologies—such as AI in game design, metaverse integrations, and next-gen animation pipelines—will be directly applied to the studio’s ongoing and future projects.

As Exodia continues to grow, it remains focused on delivering top-tier game development services while empowering the next generation of Filipino game developers. Through mentorship programs, partnerships with local universities, and participation in global conferences like GDS, Exodia champions both excellence in delivery and community growth.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Exodia?

With momentum from GDS 2025, Exodia is poised to take on larger-scale projects and more ambitious collaborations. The company is already in talks with several international partners for upcoming AAA titles and indie game support services.

“This summit is just the beginning,” noted Tawaging. “Exodia is ready to level up—and we’re bringing Filipino talent along for the ride.”
