Nacon Postpones Annual Connect Showcase Amid Financial Restructuring
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Nacon has delayed its March digital showcase to May following a recent insolvency filing and financial restructuring, though the publisher promises regular updates on upcoming games like GreedFall 2 in the meantime.
Publisher Nacon has officially pressed pause on its upcoming Nacon Connect digital showcase. Originally slated to stream across platforms like Twitch and YouTube on March 4, the online event has been pushed back to May. Nacon pointed to a difficult economic climate and recent financial restructuring as the primary reasons for the delay, stating that the company needs to redirect its resources toward development and polish. While fans will miss out on the scheduled broadcast, the publisher has promised a steady stream of updates regarding major titles in the interim.
The postponement follows a turbulent period for the French company. Late last month, Nacon filed for insolvency with a commercial court after its majority shareholder, Bigben Interactive, struggled with bond loan payments. While insolvency is distinct from outright bankruptcy, it puts serious pressure on the publisher as it prepares for high-profile launches. A commercial court is expected to rule on the filing soon, creating a tense backdrop for the studio lineup.
Despite the corporate friction, the upcoming release slate remains a focal point for players. The May showcase is intended to give the spotlight back to studios working on projects like GreedFall 2: The Dying World and Dragonkin: The Banished, alongside horror titles such as Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. For a community that relies on direct developer transparency and digital streams to track upcoming games, the wait for concrete release dates and deep dives continues, but the focus on project polish suggests the publisher wants to deliver quality when the curtain finally rises.
