The Feast of Redemption continues in early 2022. To a lesser extent this time. Nacon announces the acquisition of role-playing game developer Midgar Studio edge of eternity coming to PC in June 2021 and coming to Xbox this week. The publisher thus relies on a team specialized in J-RPGs.
Jeremy Zeler-Maury, President of the Nîmes studio, said he was delighted with this operation. The man says:
Being creative and at the same time technically excellent is a challenge that is both distinctive and hallmark of Midgar Studio. We are very happy to join NACON who understood and listened to our needs. Benefiting from their support gives us the opportunity to achieve our ambitions while maintaining a high degree of autonomy.
For its part, Nacon is continuing its strategy of investing and absorbing studios. The French publisher wants to increase its production capacities, but also offer more game variety and expand its portfolio. Today, after this takeover, The “Video Games” division comprises 15 development sites, including 10 in France for a total of more than 600 developers. These are supported by a 70-strong publishing team.
Focus Entertainment has strengthened itself in the same direction in recent weeks. The company has in fact taken control of DotEmu, the publisher and developer specializing in neo-retro games to which we have a special debt to thank Road of Wrath 4 in partnership with Lizardcube.
