March 2. French video game publisher After that has announced that it will postpone the Nacon Connect event. The upcoming event has been scheduled for March 4, 2026 and is expected to showcase the publisher's games, including GreedFall 2: The Dying World. Nacon is also likely to announce its plans for next year at the event.
This is not the first time Nacon has been in the news recently. The company made headlines on February 25 when it filed for insolvency. Insolvency, while not bankruptcy, is still a financial condition in which a business cannot pay its debts. The move was a result of its majority shareholder, Bigben Interactive, being unable to make partial bond repayments. The submission was made to the commercial court, which should decide on the insolvency proposal at the beginning of March GreedFall 2: The Dying Worldissue date.
Nacon has officially filed for insolvency
Nacon, known for publishing games such as RoboCop: Rogue City and GreedFall 2, filed for insolvency in a French court due to financial problems.
Nacon Connect was suspended due to the company's financial difficulties
Nacon Connect was originally scheduled for March 4. The event would have been streamed live on YouTube and Twitch, but Nacon has now confirmed it will postpone the annual event. The online-only launch is now expected to take place sometime in May, though the company hasn't given an exact date. The delay is a direct result of the French publisher's recent financial difficulties, with the company explaining that it is taking time to polish its upcoming games. The company also said it expects “numerous communications” regarding GreedFall 2: The Dying World and Dragonkin: Banishedplus his other titles, meanwhile.
“Due to the difficult economic environment for the company, we have decided to focus our resources on the upcoming releases and development of our current games. This period will allow us to polish our projects and prepare for the new NACON Connect in May, which will showcase the work of our studios in the best possible way,” the company said in a press release.
Nacon's digital presentation was expected to provide a deeper look into the company's games, including two upcoming Lovecraftian titles, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss and Mound: Omen of Cthulhu. The publisher was also expected to pick up Edge of Memoriescontinuation in 2021 mostly positively received Edge of Eternity. It is also highly likely that players could view them better GreedFall 2: The Dying Worldwhose full release is scheduled for March 12. The title is currently in Early Access and as Nacon's biggest franchise alongside the surprise hit Hell is usthe demo would probably show off some of the game improvements included in version 1.0. An announcement trailer for the event was also released Styx: Blades of Greed, Dragonkin: Banishedand racing simulation game Nacon, Racing.
It's always unfortunate to see a video game company hit hard financially, especially when it could mean trouble for its employees and various projects. February saw layoffs almost every week at a video game studio, including layoffs at Ubisoft's developer and publisher studio in Toronto, which was responsible for major titles including Far Cry 6 and Watch Dogs: Legion. That means if Nacon's bankruptcy filing were approved by the courts, it would allow the company to keep jobs while it renegotiates with creditors. If the courts reject Nacon's bankruptcy petition, it could lead to the company filing for bankruptcy, which could in turn lead to serious job cuts after the restructuring.
However, it could be considered somewhat good news that the company has not canceled its Nacon Connect show outright. Instead, it merely moved it two months to May. Until then, the courts should have a chance to rule on the company's filing, and Nacon could be in a better financial position after the full version 1.0 is released GreedFall 2: The Dying World. The company has also indicated that it will be communicating about its planned games during that time, so more news is likely to follow in the coming weeks.
