Nacon is publishing two titles in the coming months: Hunting Simulator 3 on October 29 and Edge of Memories on November 5. The company is doing this while its parent, Bigben Interactive, works through bond repayment delays and judicial restructuring filings.
Nacon's release slate for late 2026 has been filling in through announcements that followed some of the company's roughest months. On July 21, Midgar Studio, the French developer behind the JRPG Edge of Eternity, was reported to be closing under legal liquidation proceedings. CEO Jeremy Zeler-Maury announced the closure on LinkedIn on July 20 and said the studio had searched for a new acquirer but could not resolve its situation within the deadline. Midgar Studio had been acquired by Nacon in 2022, and Nacon itself has faced financial difficulties tied to parent company Bigben Interactive's bond repayment delays and judicial restructuring filings.
The next announcements answered the question the closure left open. On September 18, Nacon said Edge of Memories, the Edge of Eternity sequel, will launch November 5 for PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a PS5 physical Deluxe Edition from 3goo following on December 10. Creative work was already finished when Midgar Studio closed, and Japanese talent had been attached to the project: music by Yasunori Mitsuda, script by Sawako Natori, and character design by Raita Kazama. The sequel moves the series from turn-based ATB combat to real-time action.
Hunting Simulator 3 was already dated before that. Announced August 19, it launches October 29 on PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The open-world hunting game is set in Colorado and Texas, supports solo play and up to four-player online co-op, and includes dozens of animal species. Its SimFauna system simulates wildlife ecosystems, with aging, breeding, and pack hierarchy changes that can follow from hunting.
