Midgar Studio liquidation and project status

Overview

French independent developer Midgar Studio, owned by publisher Nacon, underwent a court-ordered liquidation in July 2026 after efforts to find a buyer failed. The closure, which impacted an estimated 30 to 50 employees, was linked to broader financial difficulties within the Nacon group.

Following the dissolution, updates regarding the studio’s upcoming project, ‘Edge of Memories’, indicated that the game remains scheduled for a 2026 release. While the studio has officially closed, a dedicated team is reportedly working to complete technical aspects, such as polishing versions for PC and consoles, noting that creative work on the title is finished.
