As the video game industry evolves, change remains constant. Virtuos has continued efforts in exploring new and innovative approaches in the game development scene in the past year. Here are some of our key efforts in 2025:
We strengthened our glocalization efforts to better serve our clients
Our clients remain at the core of what we do. This year, we continued to expand our global footprint in the West and Korea. This addition has strengthened our commitment to becoming a glocalized game development powerhouse, enabling us to deliver higher-quality services by being closer to our clients while providing expertise at a global scale.
We also received the Global Business Excellence Award by MCV/DEVELOP, and we look forward to contributing further to the video games industry moving forward.
We contributed to timeless adventures and revivals of legends
From Cyrodiil to the Virtuos Mission, we revisted to iconic worlds in 2025 with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater. A huge thank you to our partners, Bethesda Softworks and Konami, for the opportunity to help revive these beloved classics!
It has also been a thrill contributing to well-loved titles such as Dune: Awakening, Doom: The Dark Ages, Voyagers of Nera, and more.
We continued to share industry expertise
It’s been a great year for Nintendo fans with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, and we were pleased to share our insights through a commentary and whitepaper on the beloved platform. Additionally, we collaborated with GamesIndustry.biz to share our findings on how the co-development model can supercharge mid-sized teams.
We also had the opportunity to share our expertise on global platforms such as the Game Developers Conference and through GamesBeat in Conversation.

We supported talent and gave back to the community
Education, diversity, and environment are key CSR pillars at Virtuos. We proudly awarded scholarships to 15 aspiring female talents through the Girls Got Game scholarship. Launched in 2021, this annual program aims to provide learning opportunities for aspiring talent to explore and develop their skills in game production. Our efforts were also rewarded with the DEI Excellence Award, presented to us at the 2025 China-France Chamber of Commerce Gala.
Virtuos studios across the globe have also given back to the community in their own ways, through tree planting activities, the SpecialEffect Charity Pub Quiz hosted by Third Kind Games, and food donation drives for the needy.
2025 was a year in which we continue to pivot and build upon the foundations laid in previous years. As we move forward, our goal of becoming the best external developer in the game development industry remains steadfast. We’re grateful for the ongoing support from our partners and employees, and look forward to another year of making games better, together.
