adminThe Spiders studio closure has been confirmed following a period of uncertainty about the Paris-based developer’s future. Its parent company, Nacon, did not secure a buyer for the studio. The announcement leaves questions about ongoing support for GreedFall: The Dying World and the future of Spiders’ projects.
Spiders studio closure confirmed
Spiders said the company is being liquidated and will stop operating immediately. The statement followed several weeks without a clear update, during which reports had suggested that the studio might close after efforts to find a buyer did not succeed.
Liquidation means Spiders will no longer exist as an operating company. The studio also said it will not be able to respond to player questions or troubleshoot game issues. Players who need assistance should contact Nacon, which Spiders identified as the point of contact for support.
Practical tip: For help with a game, gather the platform, game version, and a clear description of the issue before contacting support. This information can make it easier to identify the problem.
What happens to GreedFall: The Dying World?
The prequel had left early access only weeks before the closure announcement and was released on March 10. Spiders said its planned downloadable content (DLC) would be released through Nacon. The announcement did not explain how Nacon intends to handle support for the game after the studio ceases operations, so details about future updates remain unclear.
Players should distinguish the confirmed DLC plan from broader promises about ongoing maintenance: the studio’s statement specified that the planned DLC would be handled by Nacon but did not set out a wider support schedule. Check official game announcements for any later information about release timing or technical assistance.
Projects and reported developments
Reports about the studio’s situation said the request for liquidation had become a formality after another recent project, known by the codename Dark, was cancelled last year. Spiders was then reportedly focused on completing GreedFall 2 and preparing a new project proposal intended to secure the studio’s future.
The same reporting described staff updating their résumés and taking part in self-study rather than working on future productions. Those details provide context for the company’s difficulties, but they do not change the studio’s confirmation that it is being liquidated.
Wider financial pressure at Nacon subsidiaries
Spiders was not the only Nacon subsidiary affected by financial difficulties. Kylotonn, Cyanide, and Nacon Tech also filed for insolvency last month, according to the report. The filings point to pressure across several companies in the group, although the available information does not establish what will happen to each subsidiary.
What players should know
- Spiders has confirmed that it is being liquidated and will stop operating.
- Nacon is expected to release the planned GreedFall: The Dying World DLC.
- For game questions or technical issues, contact Nacon rather than Spiders.
- Further details about continuing support for the game have not been confirmed.
In summary, the Spiders studio closure ends the developer’s operations, while Nacon is set to handle the planned DLC. Players should look to Nacon for support and future announcements about GreedFall: The Dying World.
