Spiders Studio Completes Operational Shutdown As Nacon Liquidation Ends Two Decades Of Game Development Following Financial Difficulties And Failed Sale Attempts
The studio at Spiders Studio has completed its final operations following the official announcement of its dissolution. The French media outlet Origami published an investigative report which proved to be accurate regarding the future development team at Spiders. The studio announced its complete operational shutdown through an official announcement which it published on April 29. The organization expressed deep regret for its recent period of silence while acknowledging that the past month proved to be an insurmountable challenge for the internal staff.
Hello everyone,
— Spiders (@spidersgames) April 29, 2026
First off, we apologise for the silence over the past month - it's been a while.
We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.…
After the studio completes its permanent shutdown Nacon will gain immediate control over all existing intellectual property owned by the studio. The parent organization will take charge of managing all expansion content and title updates which were originally planned by the development team. The developers shared a final note of gratitude toward their audience while expressing sorrow that their lengthy history in the industry had to conclude under these specific circumstances.
The team established in 2008 dedicated two decades to creating niche action role playing games. Their portfolio includes titles such as Faery Legends of Avalon and Mars War Logs along with various projects featuring the Sherlock Holmes character. The studio maintained an uninterrupted production schedule through eighteen years yet it failed to achieve significant commercial or critical success across international markets.
The path to this liquidation started in 2019 when Bigben Interactive purchased the company which later rebranded itself as Nacon. The parent company experienced financial difficulties which resulted in the subsidiary being closed down according to recent reports. The organization had to complete a total team liquidation process after failed studio sale attempts resulted in zero buyers showing interest.
