Midgar Studio has officially shut down and entered liquidation, ending development on the upcoming action RPG Edge of Memories. This closure matters to players because the game loses its primary developer and faces an uncertain future without a new publisher or studio to take over production. The studio's founder confirmed the end on LinkedIn, noting that the court-ordered liquidation follows failed attempts to find an acquirer.
Nacon insolvency forces liquidation of French developer
Midgar Studio was a French developer known for creating the fantasy RPG Edge of Eternity and the currently in-development Edge of Memories. The studio operated under the publisher Nacon, which previously acquired the developer to support its creative projects. Nacon had put the studio up for sale just one day after spotlighting Edge of Memories at a recent industry event.
The closure stems directly from the insolvency of publisher Nacon, which previously acquired Midgar Studio. Founder Jérémy Zeler-Maury stated that he had hoped to announce a successful acquisition of the studio instead of its liquidation. The court intervention forced the immediate shutdown of operations and the distribution of remaining assets.
Edge of Memories remains the studio's most recent project, positioned as an action RPG following the success of Edge of Eternity. The studio had no other active projects or development pipelines when it ceased operations. The studio's portfolio now consists of the previously released Edge of Eternity and the unfinished Edge of Memories.
We have been tracking Edge of Memories closely, including earlier coverage on Nacon Puts Midgar Studio Up for. The closure of the studio removes a distinct independent developer from the French gaming landscape. Players waiting for Edge of Memories should expect no further updates from the original team.
