“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. 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,” said the studio in a press release.

It will still share details on GreedFall: The Dying World, Dragonkin: The Banished, and Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, among other titles. You can likely expect to hear about them sooner than later – the first two launch on March 12th and 19th respectively, while Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss arrives in April (with a playable demo available until 10 AM PST as part of the Steam Next Fest).

As for the company filing for insolvency, it’s ultimately down to Bigben Interactive, the majority shareholder, failing to partially repay its bond loan. It now requires “rapid implementation of a financial restructuring,” especially since court-supervised debt restructuring isn’t possible. How judicial reorganization will ultimately work out remains to be seen, but Nacon is keen on avoiding layoffs and ensuring the best for its employees.

Given that the hearing is set for this week, it makes even more sense to delay Nacon Connect. Stay tuned for more details and updates when it returns in May. Who knows? There could be some unexpected additions to the show in the coming months.

Perhaps the biggest release on the calendar, Daedalic Entertainment’s The Lord of the Rings: Gollum originally planned to release last September for Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X/S. It was delayed by a “few months,” and the publisher recently confirmed it would release sometime between April and September 2023. Perhaps a release date will be announced at Nacon Connect.

RoboCop: Rogue City is the other heavy-hitter, developed by Teyon of Terminator: Resistance fame. It’s coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch in June and could also receive new gameplay footage. Stay tuned for more updates when the digital showcase premieres next month.

As for what to expect, there may be new gameplay of Daedalic Entertainment’s The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, which releases on September 1st. Spiders’ Steelrising may also be present while KT Racing’s Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, which was recently delayed to 2023, may get its first proper gameplay reveal. Session: Skate Sim is out on September 22nd after spending two years in early access so expect that to make an appearance.

GreedFall 2: The Dying World seems a long shot, especially since it was only recently announced and is currently planned for release in 2024 for PC and consoles. HELL is US, a trippy action-adventure title by Rogue Factor releasing in 2023, could also appear. Stay tuned for more details from Nacon Connect next month.

Things are heating up in July in the gaming world as now more companies are announcing their digital events. Of those, one is a relative newcomer, at least to events of these kind, with Nacon (formerly known as Bigben Interactive). The company will soon hold a new digital conference they are dubbing the Nacon Connect, and they are bringing quite a few titles to the show.

Via their official Twitter, Nacon have announced their schedule for their first ever Connect. It looks like they have nine things on the bracket, with 7 games. Three of these have been announced previously. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood, which will get a gameplay reveal, Rogue Lords, which will get a story trailer, and then Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong, a new RPG in the series planned for 2021 we haven’t seen yet. There will also be four unannounced games, one of which we know is the next game from Spiders, and then titles from Abrakam Studio and Kylotonn, which is most likely the next Test Drive game. There may be a few other surprises there as well.

The Nacon Connect will go live July 7th at 9 am PT. You can see the link and a rough schedule for the show’s stream below.
