Styx: Blades of Greed publisher Nacon files for insolvency

Briefing

Nacon's insolvency filing is a significant development for the game development community, especially for those working on projects under its banner. With the company facing a €43 million loan repayment issue, developers may experience delays or changes in project direction, particularly for the upcoming WRC games set for release from 2027 to 2032.

The court is expected to hear Nacon's request for judicial reorganization in early March, which aims to protect employees and preserve jobs while renegotiating debts. This situation highlights the challenges faced by mid-tier publishers in the current market, making it crucial for developers to stay informed about potential impacts on their roles and projects.

“The aim of this procedure is to assess all possible solutions to ensure the sustainability of the Company's activity.”
