Officially released late last year, Hell is Us is a 3rd-person melee focused action-adventure title which arrived to high praise, marking it as one of publisher Nacon’s best-rated games of all time. While Nacon itself is currently going through some issues, the publisher has officially revealed that Hell is Us will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 later this year.

During the recent Nacon Connect livestream, the game publisher officially announced that Rogue Factor’s much-loved Hell is Us will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 on the 24th of September – a little over one year from its home console / PC release.

For the uninitiated, Hell is Us is an atmospheric 3rd-person melee focused title which puts a great deal of emphasis on exploration and puzzle solving. Upon its release, the title was met with consistent and high praise from both critics and players alike (sitting at a review score of ‘Very Positive’ on Steam.)

While details on the port remain light so far, the trailer itself showed off 60fps gameplay, suggesting that the Switch 2 release will be relatively on par with its other versions.

For context, Hell is Us on PS5 includes both Quality and Performance modes targeting 30 and 60fps respectively (the latter of which uses FSR2 to upscale to 4K). While not yet confirmed, it is likely that the Switch 2 release will similarly offer two graphics options; possibly using the Switch’s bespoke DLSS for added clarity.

Regardless, Hell is Us is a unique experience worth giving a go. Hopefully all of the game’s atmospheric effects are kept in place. We will have to wait and see.

The saga of Nacon's upheaval continues, as the French publisher has officially put another one of its subsidiary studios up for sale, and this time it's not one of the studios that already filed for insolvency. Midgar Studios, which is currently working on Edge of Memories, a game featured in yesterday's Nacon Connect 2026 event, is looking for a buyer. Spotted by French outlet Origami, a listing for the studio appeared online today, which, it's once again worth noting, is just one day after Edge of Memories held a major spotlight in Nacon's annual showcase event. It's not clear what […]

Shortly after the debut of its Nacon Connect 2026 showcase where French publisher Nacon tried to put up a strong front amidst a major time of upheaval in its history, a new report points to more upheaval and, unfortunately, another studio closure. According to French outlet Origami, Nacon is preparing to shut down Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss and Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong developer Big Bad Wolf as part of its attempt to survive its insolvency filing and that of Big Bad Wolf's parent company Cyanide, which itself is a subsidiary of Nacon. Of course, this is an unconfirmed report […]

Today, French publisher Nacon finally hosted its Nacon Connect 2026 showcase event after it was postponed from its original date in March 2026. If you don't recall, it was postponed because Nacon filed for insolvency days after announcing the event, after its majority investor, Big Ben Interactive, failed to close its refinancing deal. Since then, Nacon has done its best to portray strength within its portfolio and for the future, claiming that "this is not the end," though that became increasingly difficult to believe as four of its subsidiary studios filed for insolvency, one of which shut down just last […]

Amidst a period of upheaval for the publisher, Nacon debuted its Nacon Connect 2026 showcase today, which included reveals of previously released titles coming to new platforms, new accessories from Nacon, and the reveal of new games, including Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Rageborn. Developed by Nacon's Montreal-based studio, Crea-ture, the studio behind the skateboarding simulator Session, this top-down action adventure set to arrive sometime in 2027 sees players swap between three forms: human, wolf, and werewolf. Rageborn will feature what Crea-ture president and creative director Lous Lamarche describes as more of a "Metroidvania" structure with its approach, in part because […]

Revealed during the Nacon Connect 2026 showcase event, Cyanide Studios' next game following Styx: Blades of Greed, which released earlier this year. This time, Cyanide is once again bringing a classic character back into the spotlight, but this character is much more well-known than a sneaking goblin. Dracula: The Disciple is Cyanide's next game, and it delivers its own take on the gothic story, as this first-person puzzle game sees you slowly turn into the famous creature of the night. You play as Émile Valombres, a French archivist suffering from an incurable disease that he is desperate to rid himself […]

Greedfall and Steelrising maker Spiders having to close its doors after its parent company Nacon reportedly failed to find a buyer for the studio can seem like just a really unfortunate breakdown for the French studios from an external view when looking at the last few months. But that's not the case, at least according to French union Syndicat des Travailleureuses du Jeu Vidéo (STJV), who claim that the shutdown has less to do with the recent insolvency filings and more to do with alleged willful mismanagement. "Spiders' liquidation has been ordered on April 29. In a few weeks, the […]

The next NACON Connect event had to be postponed earlier this year after the publisher hit financial issues. Those issues just resulted in RPG studio, Spiders, shutting down as of today. The publisher is looking to move on swiftly though, with the next showcase now scheduled for next week.

Nacon Connect will now take place on the 7th of May. As usual, the game announcements showcase will be hosted on the publisher's YouTube and Twitch channels, with the stream set to begin at 7PM UK time.

In a press release, Nacon said that there will be an evening of announcements for ambitious games, a preview of upcoming innovations for accessories and exclusive gameplay sequences for anticipated titles such as The Mound, Edge of Memories, Endurance Motorsport Series, and Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish.

KitGuru Says: Will you be tuning into Nacon Connect?

Earlier this week, reports began circulating that RPG studio, Spiders, was set to close after falling into insolvency. Now, the company has confirmed exactly that. 

Spiders, the studio behind cult RPGs like The Technomancer, Bound by Flame and Geedfall, is officially closing down. In a message shared via the studio's official X account, Spiders “no longer exists” and is being liquidated.

The planned DLC for Greedfall The Dying World will still release under publisher Nacon, but it is unclear who will be finishing it up now that Spiders is closing.

Spiders was one of several studios impacted by insolvency under Nacon. The studio had a chance to be saved with a boost in sales following Greedfall The Dying World leaving early access, but that unfortunately didn't happen.

KitGuru Says: Spiders felt like a studio on the rise after Greedfall but unfortunately, things took a wrong turn somewhere. 

Yesterday, we reported on a claim that Spiders, the studio behind the Greedfall series and Steelrising, would be shutting down "soon" after it filed for insolvency last month. The shutdown was allegedly a result of its parent company Nacon being unable to find a buyer for the studio after the insolvency filing. Today, Spiders finally spoke out via its official X (formerly Twitter) account, and while it didn't confirm anything about the failed sale, it did confirm that yes, "Spiders is being liquidated." The studio's statement began with an apology for the team's silence over the last couple of months, […]

Over the years, Spiders began to grow a reputation for its RPGs, which didn't quite hit AAA quality, but had cult appeal. Unfortunately, the studio may now be facing closure. 

According to a report from Origami, Spiders has been unable to find a buyer after a number of Nacon-owned studios went insolvent. As a result, layoffs at the studio may begin soon as it winds down operations.

This would mean that while the Greedfall IP lives on paper, there will no longer be a team to work on it, so fans may never see a true Greedfall 2. Spiders did just bring Greedfall: The Dying World out of Early Access, but it is a prequel to the first game, and not as well received as the original. The game was also clearly not a sales hit, as Spiders is now facing imminent closure.

According to Insider Gaming, Spiders had been working on a project titled ‘Dark' in 2025 but it was cancelled in late 2025. It is also claimed that the studio had been pitching Greedfall 2.

KitGuru Says: This is a huge shame and rather unexpected given that Nacon was set to make a number of major game announcements just weeks ago before the financial situation came to light. 

2026 has been a bad year for Nacon, with the French video games publisher confirming last month that a number of its subsidiaries had filed for insolvency. While reports at the time claimed that they were hoping to sell off one of their studios (Spiders), it seems the team did not manage to secure a deal – with the nearly two-decade old studio reportedly set to shutter.

As reported by the publication Origami.ng (who have previously shared tons of details regarding the publisher's current status), Nacon subsidiary Spiders is set to be shut down “soon” following their inability to find “a buyer.”

For the uninitiated, Spiders is one of Nacon’s most well known studios, with the AA team having released a number of ambitious titles in its time, including-but-not-limited-to Greedfall; Steelrising; The Technomancer and more.

The announcement of the studio’s closure is interesting to see, especially as the team only just recently released Greedfall: The Dying World. Initially launched in Early Access to a mixed reception, the game’s full arrival has been met with far more positivity.

Unfortunately, it seems as though Greedfall: The Dying World will mark the final game from Spiders. Hopefully some positives can come from this disappointing situation.

Greedfall developer Spiders will reportedly shut down "soon" after it filed for insolvency last month, as its parent company Nacon seemingly fails to find a buyer for the studio.

Nacon has officially announced the launch of the RIG R8 Pro series, a high-performance dual-wireless gaming headset. The series consists of the R8 Pro HS (PlayStation) and HX (Xbox) and represents a significant technical evolution of the 800 Pro, introducing advanced materials and connectivity options designed for the competitive landscape. 

The R8 Pro series (HX and HS) uses custom-built 40mm graphene drivers, creating a lighter, more rigid driver structure that virtually eliminates distortion and maintains total harmonic distortion under 0.5%. This choice allows the headset to deliver a frequency response of 20Hz to 40kHz, tuned to highlight mid-range audio cues like footsteps and reload sounds in competitive shooters. Furthermore, the Pro HS headset is optimised for PlayStation's 3D Audio.

Connectivity has been modernised with a dual-wireless system that enables simultaneous audio mixing. Users can connect to their console via a low-latency 2.4 GHz USB-C adapter while maintaining a Bluetooth 5.2 connection to a mobile device. This allows gamers to take calls or hear notifications without interrupting their game audio. For multi-platform users, the headset supports a new multi-system switching feature that pairs up to 4 separate USB-C transmitters, enabling seamless transitions between a PC, PS5, or multiple consoles with the press of a button.

The R8 Pro series is built for endurance, boasting a battery life exceeding 60 hours on a single charge. When not in use, the headsets can rest in a dedicated base station that handles charging and features fully configurable RGB lighting with over 100 possible colour combinations. Moreover, the proprietary RIG Snap+Lock mod system uses magnetic connections for user-swappable earcup plates and ear cushions. Also, the headsets are further supported by the RIG Navigator mobile app, giving players control over EQ settings, microphone gain, and custom profiles from their smartphones. Both models are priced at $199.99.

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is the latest Lovecraftian horror game to hit the market, but beyond its horror elements, it is first and foremost a puzzle game. Of course, the fun in every puzzle game is solving the puzzle that the developers have put in front of you, but it's also understandable if you need a hint or two.

Nacon is perhaps the biggest video game publisher in France outside of Ubisoft, with the company responsible for many well-liked titles including Hell is Us; Greedfall; RoboCop: Rogue City and many more. Despite this, the publisher is currently struggling, announcing earlier this year that they had filed for insolvency. In the wake of this, it appears as though at least one of Nacon’s studios might be saved, with Spiders – the team behind Greedfall and Steelrising – currently undergoing a bidding process.

Following the recent announcement that 4 of Nacon’s subsidiaries have filed for insolvency, French publication Origami revealed that one of the four (Spiders) could find a new home under a different publisher, claiming:

[Translated] “French publisher Nacon is looking to sell Spiders, a Paris-based studio it acquired in 2019,” adding that “Yesterday, a few days after multiple requests for judicial reorganization within the group, the parent company notified Spiders employees that a bidding process was imminent.”

Offering some additional context, they continued: “Spiders is, however, indeed working on a new pre-production project, which could be leveraged in the event of a potential sale, but the internal feeling is that Nacon has mostly kept people busy while the divorce was being finalized.”

As mentioned, of Nacon’s many subsidiaries, Spiders is perhaps the most well known, with the AA studio having released a number of ambitious titles in its time, including-but-not-limited-to Greedfall; Steelrising; The Technomancer and more.

Whether Spiders will be able to find a new parent company to operate under, we will have to wait and see; but here’s to hoping that all of Nacon’s studios are able to find new homes in the wake of these unfortunate circumstances.

French publisher Nacon is looking to sell two of its subsidiary studios, Spiders, the team behind Greedfall and Steelrising, and motion capture studio Nacon Tech, according to a new report from Origami. The news comes just days after Spiders, along with other Nacon studios Cyanide and Kylotonn, were placed under receivership, and all three, along with Nacon Tech, filed for insolvency. All of this is the result of what happened at the end of February 2025, when Nacon itself filed for insolvency, after its majority shareholder, Bigben Interactive, saw its refinancing agreement it had reached in November 2025 fall through […]

Earlier this month, before we even knew that there would be an Xbox Partner Preview event today, a new Hunter: The Reckoning game seemed to leak in a truly bizarre way. An update pushed to RoboCop: Rogue City on Steam briefly changed the game players had in their library from RoboCop to what was clearly an early build for an in-development project called Hunter: The Reckoning. It didn't seem like anything more than extremely odd at the time. It's rare, if not unheard of, that a developer pushes an update for one game that essentially replaces it with another. There […]

Nacon is perhaps the biggest video game publisher in France outside of Ubisoft, with the company responsible for many well-liked titles including Hell is Us; Greedfall; RoboCop: Rogue City and many more. In a surprise announcement, the publisher/holding company has now confirmed that four of its subsidiaries have filed for insolvency – including the studio behind the aforementioned Greedfall.

Publishing a press release to make the announcement, Nacon officially confirmed that “four of its subsidiaries, namely the video game development studios Spiders, Kylotonn, Cyanide, and the motion capture company Nacon Tech, have today filed for insolvency with the Lille Métropole Commercial Court and requested the opening of judicial reorganisation proceedings in their favour.”

As explained by the press release itself, judicial reorganisation proceedings are “collective proceedings under French law pursuant to which liabilities arising prior to the opening judgment are frozen for the duration of the observation period, which may last up to 18 months. During this period, the debtor may propose a continuation plan providing for the restructuring of its debt with a view to ensuring the recovery of its business.”

This follows on from last month’s report which revealed that Nacon as a whole was filing for insolvency, suggesting that things haven’t been going too well so far.

As mentioned, while far from the most prestigious publisher, Nacon has had a solid track record in recent years, with some of its more modern successes including Hell Is Us; the ‘Hunting Simulator’ series; STYX; Test Drive Unlimited; RoboCop: Rogue City and Greedfall. Hopefully the publisher is able to find a solution which keeps as much of the talent across these studios as possible in employment.
