Back in February, we brought you the unfortunate news that publisher Nacon had filed for insolvency following financial troubles, and it now sounds like one of its main studios is closing down after struggling to find a buyer.
French outlet Origami is reporting that Nacon developer Spiders — which makes the GreedFall series amongst other RPG titles — "will soon close" as a result of restructuring at Nacon. We'll share an excerpt from their report, which has been roughly translated from French:
"According to our information, Spiders, the Parisian studio behind numerous action-RPGs since its founding in 2008, will soon close. Lacking a buyer for this Nacon subsidiary, the court-appointed administrator in charge of the French publishing group's restructuring will request its liquidation from the commercial court this Wednesday, a 'mere formality at this stage' according to several sources close to the matter."
The report goes on to say that "CV updates and self-study sessions" have recently replaced working on actual games at the studio, as members of the team look ahead to what's next for their careers. It's worth noting that this is reported information at present, and we haven't seen anything directly from Nacon on the matter just yet.
Looking at Spiders' work, they've made some interesting and cult classic action-RPGs over the years. We've mentioned GreedFall here, but the team also developed Steelrising, The Technomancer, Bound By Flame and others. If this information is accurate, we hope affected employees land on their feet as quickly as possible.
