Nacon has officially put its Montpellier-based subsidiary, Midgar Studios, up for sale. The announcement appeared online on May 8, 2026. This move follows a recent feature of the studio's upcoming title in the publisher's corporate newsletter.
Previous developer Spiders shuttered after failed acquisition attempt
Midgar Studios is currently developing the role-playing game Edge of Memories. The title is scheduled for release in 2026. The game was highlighted in the Nacon Connect 2026 event just one day before the sale announcement.
Nacon previously shuttered the developer Spiders after failing to find a buyer for that studio. Industry observers suggest Midgar Studios faces a similar fate if no purchaser emerges. Other Nacon subsidiaries, including Big Bad Wolf and Kylotonn, are also facing potential closure or layoffs.
The lack of a specific release date for Edge of Memories may stem from uncertainty regarding the studio's survival. Questions remain about whether the team will remain intact long enough to finish the game. Nacon has not confirmed the launch window for the title or the studio's future operations.
