Nacon shares rose sharply on the Paris Bourse on Thursday, as investors seemed convinced by the "ambitious" schedule of upcoming launches unveiled by the video game group.
At around 10:30 a.m., shares in the Bigben subsidiary gained 2.4%, after having climbed by around 4.5% mid-morning.
On the occasion of the seventh edition of 'Bigben Week', the Bigben group's annual event, Nacon presented eight games, including a preview of 'GreedFall II: The Dying World', a title that will be available this summer on PC.
Another eagerly-awaited title, the racing game 'Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown' - which allows players to cruise the roads of Hong Kong Island in exceptional vehicles - will be released on September 12.
This release comes as Nacon launched its first steering wheel this week, as part of the establishment of a division entirely dedicated to racing games.
The group also plans to present other accessories at the meeting, including a top-of-the-range, ultra-lightweight wireless headset.
Analysts say they expect a solid 2024-2025 financial year from the company, buoyed by the release of some fifteen games, including 'Ravenswatch', which has already sold over 400,000 copies in early access.
