French video game publisher and developer Nacon has postponed its annual Connect showcase, originally set for March 4, to May 2026. This decision comes after the company filed for insolvency, citing a challenging economic landscape as the primary reason. The company aims to focus its resources on upcoming releases and the development of existing games, ensuring a polished and impactful presentation at the rescheduled event.
Nacon's majority shareholder, Bigben Interactive, faced a setback when its banking pool refused to honor a €43 million loan, leading to the insolvency filing. The company is now exploring court-supervised procedures to navigate this financial crisis. Nacon emphasizes that this process will enable them to renegotiate debts, continue operations, and develop a sustainable plan for the future, prioritizing employee protection and job preservation.
The postponed showcase, Nacon Connect, will be a platform to highlight the achievements of their studios, offering a comprehensive overview of their upcoming projects. This strategic move demonstrates Nacon's commitment to navigating the current challenges while maintaining a positive outlook for the gaming industry.
