Nacon’s difficult period continues, and now another studio in its portfolio is facing an uncertain future.
Midgar Studio, the developer of Edge of Memories, has reportedly been put up for sale. The timing is striking because Edge of Memories was featured during Nacon Connect 2026 just one day before the listing appeared.
Midgar is not one of the Nacon studios that had already filed for insolvency, which makes the move more worrying. It suggests Nacon’s problems are spreading beyond the studios already known to be in trouble.
Edge of Memories is still planned for 2026, but it does not have a firm release date yet. That lack of timing now feels more concerning because the studio behind it may need a buyer to secure its future.
Nacon has already shut down Spiders, the studio behind Greedfall, after failing to find a buyer. That raises the obvious question of what happens to Midgar if no buyer appears. Nothing has been confirmed, but the risk is hard to ignore.
The wider situation around Nacon is also unstable. Big Bad Wolf, the developer of Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, is reportedly facing closure. Kylotonn has also reportedly been affected by layoffs. Cyanide and other teams remain under pressure as Nacon tries to manage its financial problems.
Here is where things stand:
| Studio | Current situation |
|---|---|
| Midgar Studio | Put up for sale while developing Edge of Memories |
| Spiders | Already shut down after no buyer was found |
| Big Bad Wolf | Reportedly facing possible closure |
| Kylotonn | Reportedly hit by layoffs |
| Cyanide | Facing uncertainty amid Nacon’s wider problems |
The sale listing does not mean Edge of Memories is canceled. It may be an attempt to keep the studio alive by finding a new owner. Still, the timing creates doubt around the game’s path to release.
Nacon Connect 2026 was meant to show a strong future lineup, but news like this makes that future harder to read. Several games may still be in development, but the teams making them are now operating under serious uncertainty.
For Edge of Memories, the next few months may be critical. A buyer could give Midgar Studio the stability it needs to finish the game. Without one, the project may become another example of how fragile game development has become during Nacon’s ongoing upheaval.
