Nacon Files for Insolvency Following Financial Trouble at Parent Company Bigben Interactive
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Publisher Nacon has filed for insolvency in France after financial troubles at its parent company, Bigben Interactive, triggering judicial reorganization proceedings to protect jobs and restructure debts.
As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, publisher Nacon has officially filed for insolvency in France. The company behind titles like RoboCop: Rogue City, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, and the upcoming Styx: Blades of Greed has requested judicial reorganization proceedings. This move aims to buy time for financial restructuring, protect staff, and keep operations running while leadership renegotiates with creditors in a calmer framework.
The cascading financial trouble stems from Nacon's majority shareholder, Bigben Interactive. Following an unexpected refusal by its banking pool, Bigben was unable to make a partial bond loan repayment, which directly impacted Nacon's day-to-day operations. A French court is expected to rule on the judicial reorganization request in early March, and Nacon's share price remains suspended in the interim while the company works toward a sustainable continuation plan.
Despite the corporate instability, Nacon's scheduled showcase on March 4th is still moving forward. The presentation is expected to feature updates on projects like Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, The Mound, Edge of Memories, and Endurance Motorsport Series. As always, our thoughts are with the developers, QA testers, and support staff at Nacon and its studios navigating this stressful period of corporate uncertainty.
