GreedFall Studio Spiders Reportedly Closing After Buyer Search Fails

Union leaders blame Nacon’s strategy for damaging acquired teams.

Overview

  • French outlet Origami reported Tuesday that Spiders, the Paris RPG maker behind GreedFall and Steelrising, will soon shut down after Nacon failed to find a buyer.
  • The court process now under way is described as a formality, with a court-appointed administrator expected to seek liquidation at a commercial hearing.
  • Employees have begun looking for new jobs as the company works council arranges buybacks of office equipment and staff hold a farewell tribute to the studio’s eighteen years.
  • Spiders was one of several Nacon-owned teams the publisher tried to sell during its insolvency restructuring.
  • The studio rose from 2008 roots to niche hits like The Technomancer and GreedFall, but GreedFall 2’s rough Early Access launch left it on weaker footing.
