The future of Reboot Develop Blue, a renowned game developer conference traditionally held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, has been cast into doubt following a bankruptcy order issued against its organiser, Digitalna Avantura. The order was handed down by the Commercial Court of Zagreb after the company accumulated approximately €520,000 in unpaid debts, prompting financial agency Fina to initiate proceedings due to a lack of assets to cover the repayment.
As part of the bankruptcy process, creditors have been asked to advance €2,000 by the end of February to cover the initiation costs. Notably, the conference’s official website does not list any event for 2026, and the Dubrovnik Sheraton hotel has confirmed that it has not been booked for a 2026 event, despite the sale of early bird tickets roughly nine months prior.
Damir Đurović, the founder of Digitalna Avantura, has been unreachable for several months, leaving ticket holders in a state of uncertainty regarding potential refunds. Since its inception in 2014, Reboot Develop Blue has played a significant role in raising the profile of the Eastern European game development scene, but with no event planned for 2026, its continuation remains uncertain.
