Nacon files for insolvency as company’s future hangs in the balance
French gaming giant Nacon has officially filed for insolvency following a major financial crisis involving its parent company, Bigben Interactive. The move was triggered after Bigben’s banking pool unexpectedly refused to authorise a drawdown needed to repay a €43 million debt. This forced Nacon to seek judicial reorganisation to protect its 1,000+ employees and 16 development studios.

Nacon is currently using the court-supervised process to freeze debts and restructure. Operations remain active, and the company has expressed its intent to move forward with major 2026 releases such as GreedFall II and Styx: Blades of Greed.
