Why Nacon Connect 2026 was postponed
The showcase had been scheduled to air on March 4. Nacon said the delay would give it more time to prepare announcements and present its studios’ work. It also described the company as operating in a difficult economic environment and said resources would be directed toward its current games and forthcoming releases.
In announcing the new schedule, Nacon said the additional time would allow its teams to polish projects before the next Connect. The company did not provide details in the announcement about individual games, revised release dates, or which titles would appear at the event.
For players, the postponement of a showcase is not, by itself, confirmation that a particular game has been delayed or canceled. Look for separate updates from Nacon or the relevant development studio for title-specific information.
Nacon’s insolvency filing and financial situation
The event delay followed news about Nacon’s majority shareholder, Bigben Interactive. The previous week, Bigben said it could not make a €43 million loan repayment. It attributed the situation to what it called the unexpected refusal of its banking pool to respond to a drawdown notice.
Nacon then filed for insolvency so it could continue operating while considering court-supervised procedures. The company said the process was intended to examine possible ways to sustain its business, protect employees and preserve jobs, while seeking to renegotiate with creditors.
Nacon also said the procedure would allow it to continue its activities, renegotiate its debts and develop a continuation plan. The announcement did not specify the outcome of those discussions or provide a confirmed timeline for resolving the company’s financial position.
What to watch for next
The company’s announcement connected the showcase postponement to its focus on ongoing development and upcoming releases. It did not state that all projects would proceed unchanged, so players should rely on individual game announcements for updates rather than draw conclusions from the event’s revised date alone.
Because the planned May 2026 date has passed, check Nacon’s latest official communications for the current status of the showcase and any subsequent company updates. The central points in the original announcement were that Nacon Connect 2026 was moved from March to May and that Nacon was seeking a path to continue operating while addressing its debts.
