Nacon Delays Connect Showcase to May 2026 as Insolvency Proceedings Continue
TL;DR
- Nacon has postponed its annual Connect showcase from March 4th to May 2026, citing the need to "focus resources on upcoming releases" as the company navigates insolvency proceedings filed last week.
- The financial crisis was triggered when parent company Bigben Interactive failed to repay a €43 million loan after its banking pool unexpectedly refused to honour a drawdown notice.
Nacon has pushed its annual Connect showcase back to May, a quiet but telling signal that the French publisher is managing its public-facing activity carefully as it works through the insolvency proceedings it filed last week.
The showcase had been scheduled for March 4th. Nacon explained the delay in measured terms, saying the postponement was "to ensure [its] future announcements have the impact they deserve," and acknowledged the wider situation directly: "Faced with a difficult economic environment for the company, we are choosing to focus our resources on upcoming releases and the development of our current games."
The company added: "This period will allow us to polish our projects and prepare for a new Nacon Connect to be held in May, which will showcase the work of our studios in the best possible way."
The context behind those carefully worded statements is stark. Last week, Nacon revealed that Bigben Interactive, its majority shareholder, had been unable to repay a €43 million loan. The reason given was the unexpected refusal by its banking pool to respond to a drawdown notice, a failure that cascaded into Nacon filing for insolvency and seeking court-supervised procedures to stabilise the business.
On what those procedures are intended to achieve, Nacon was specific: "This procedure will enable the Company to continue its business, renegotiate its debts, and develop a credible and effective continuation plan."
