Support NeoGAF

In a video game sector marked by long investment cycles and significant transformations, on 20
February 2026, Nacon announced that the situation of its majority shareholder, Bigben Interactive,
which, following an unexpected and late refusal by its banking pool, was unable to make the partial
repayment of its bond loan to its bondholders, was significantly affecting its own operations.

The Company indicated on this occasion that its liquidity situation required the rapid implementation
of a financial restructuring with its creditors in order to ensure the continuity of its operations, and
that it was considering procedures intended to facilitate the restructuring of its debt under the
supervision of the Court

I'm not saying "I'm surprised they didn't go bankrupt years ago", but I'm surprised they didn't go bankrupt years ago

Was this the same company that stole the Sunken City from the devs and put it as a separate released on Steam?

Yes, they absolutely shafted Frogwares.

Such a shame. Robocop Rogue City is an excellent game.

Greedfall 2 is published by Nacon. Hopefully this news won't have a negative impact on the devs, since the full release is planned for next month.

 

[Gonzito]

Man, there is nothing but bad news in the game industry. It's crazy

 

[Denton]

Greedfall 2 is published by Nacon.

Judging by the reception of its early access, I suspect this will be DOA. And contributive to Nacon's problems.

 

[Radical_3d]

And what a generation.

 

[Perrott]

Karma.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Damn, I want more Robocop games. Hopefully they'll manage to survive.

Concorded

Well the WRC license went back to them after EA dropped it and killed codemasters rally series.

Who knows where it will go now, if anywhere.

WRC was good game on Nacon

 

[crackajack]

damn, so the servers for WRC Gen will possibly stay offline which means platinum stays impossible. Would have been a major grind anyway for the final offline one, but I guess now I forget that as a whole.

It was mostly due to Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown being a failure, it also doesn't help that most of their releases last year were flops too.

Friendly reminder that Nacon is also a hardware company and was created as such.

Not only they're a publisher, but Spiders is also Nacon's subsidiary. So yeah, it's not a good situation

 

[winjer]

I think I only played Robocop and one of the Styx games, from this publisher.
I hope that the studios can find other publisher that can support them.

 

[vodka-bull]

Well tbf Robocop was the biggest piece of dogshit I've played this generation.

[Mr Hyde]

They deserve to go bankrupt after what they did to Frogwares and The Sinking City. Scumbag company.

 

[Labadal]

I wonder if anyone will pix up the Styx IP. They aren't perfect games, but still fun to play.

 

[amigastar]

I have the Nacon Daija Arcade Stick from them which is really nice.

I bought a Nacon published games last week... Gear.Club Unlimited 3 for Switch 2... on cart based on a misleading ad on Amazon which did not show the white Game Key Card banner at the bottom of the front cover.

Besides being annoyed at that as a physical games collector - I did get a partial refund from Amazon though - I thought the game itself was extremely mediocre with tragically unstable 30 fps quality and 60 fps performance modes (no VRR support when played docked on TVs!) and very average visuals and audio. My advice to any Switch 2 looking at buying this game is DON'T BOTHER. Get the far superior GRID Legends instead which is also cheaper.

 

[Hudo]

I mean, Hell Is Us was alright.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I've loved what they've done, especially as a AA studio with a limited budget. Robocop was fantastic, and I was looking forward to their next Terminator game. I hope they pull through.

Does the developer of Robocop belong to Nacon? If Nacon was "only" publishing it, I bet the developer can jump to Devolver or Saber Interactive.

You're correct, the dev is Teyon, so I'd hope they could carry it elsewhere. Which makes me more hopeful, haha. They've done great jobs lately. But Terminator Survivors will surely be dead as Nacon was developing.

 

[Branded]

Yeah only caried by the license. It was just okay at the best of times.

 

[nikos]

Hope they can pull through this. I enjoy their games, especially in the racing department, even if they aren't always the most polished.
