In your mind, a deadline in 2024 might seem far away but it isn’t. Creative Europe launched a new call to support video games and immersive content development and you have until January 24th 2024 to get your submission in. Whispers of experienced studios told us you need quite a bit of preparation time to get your submission right so don’t procrastinate of you’d like to get a chance at securing these funds. After passing an eligibility test, the video games will be judged by independent experts on overall quality, relevance, project management and distribution. Final results will be announced in June 2024.
