Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Midgar Studio, closed in July due to parent company Nacon's financial troubles, announced on August 12 that Edge of Memories will still release within 2026. The studio stated creative work is complete, with a specialized team handling technical finishing. The RPG targets PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Midgar Studio, which announced its closure on July 20 due to the financial problems of parent company Nacon, has confirmed that Edge of Memories will still launch within 2026. The studio's August 12 statement on the game's official X account addressed player concerns about the title's future.
The closure stems from Nacon's judicial reorganization proceedings, filed in February after parent company Bigben Interactive could not repay part of its corporate bonds. A court ordered legal liquidation after no new acquirer was found for Midgar Studio.
According to the statement, the creative work on Edge of Memories is complete. A specialized team is now handling the technical work to bring the PC and console versions up to standard, including corrections based on demo feedback. The studio emphasized that the closure was unrelated to the game's development.
