Nacon, a subsidiary of the Bigben group, has been placed under court-ordered receivership, as anticipated by company executives. The Lille Métropole Commercial Court has appointed Maître Hélène Bourbouloux and Maître Laurent Miquel as judicial administrators.
During the observation period, which may last up to 18 months, Nacon will continue to operate its business activities. This period is intended to allow the company to restructure its debt and seek viable solutions to maintain its operations. The stated objective is to protect jobs and stabilize the working environment, while adapting to the fast-evolving video game sector.
Meanwhile, trading of Nacon shares on Euronext Paris will resume on March 4, 2026, following a temporary suspension. Trading also resumed this morning for the parent company BigBen, which is seeking to renegotiate its debt after being unable to meet a bond repayment due to an "unexpected and late" refusal from its banks.
NACON specializes in the development and publishing of so-called AA video game software (games with sales of between 200,000 and 3 million copies) in both physical and digital form. The group provides action/adventure games (Warhammer, The Sinking City, Werewolf, Paranoia, etc.), racing games (TT Isle of Man, WRC, V-Rally, FIA Truck Racing Championship, Overpass, etc.), sports games (Rugby20, Tennis World Tour, Tour de France, etc.) and simulation games (Farmers Dynasty, Bee Simulator, Pro Fishing Simulator, etc.).
In addition, NACON develops a business designing and manufacturing video game accessories for PCs and consoles (keyboards, mice, mats, controllers, headsets, microphones, steering wheels, game seats, etc.).
