Just days before it was set to air, NACON announced it was postponing its annual NACON Connect digital showcase, originally scheduled for March 4, 2026. The update, shared on social media, came alongside an open letter addressing growing concerns about the company’s financial health.

In the statement, NACON acknowledged recent reports of financial struggles but firmly rejected the idea that this marks the end of the company. Instead, the team framed the postponement as a necessary step to stabilize operations and ensure the successful launch of its upcoming titles. The showcase, they said, will return at a later date once the situation improves, with a renewed focus on games and accessories.

On February 25, 2026, NACON filed for insolvency before the Commercial Court of Lille Métropole, requesting the initiation of “redressement judiciaire,” a French judicial reorganization process designed to restructure debt and avoid full bankruptcy liquidation. The move followed financial difficulties tied to its majority shareholder, Bigben Interactive, which defaulted on a €43 million bond repayment. Trading on Euronext Paris was suspended, leaving NACON unable to meet its own creditor obligations.

Despite the uncertainty, NACON insists its release schedule remains intact. High-profile projects such as GreedFall 2: The Dying World, set to launch in the coming weeks, along with updates for Hell is Us and Styx: Blades of Greed, are still on track. Numerous other titles remain in development, and the company has expressed confidence in overcoming its financial hurdles.
