During the recent Xbox Partner Preview, a new game titled Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish was officially announced, which will take place in the streets of New York.

Fighting against vampires and werewolves

In Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish, players take on the role of a hunter who must confront their own ghosts from the past. From an old bar that serves as a refuge, players will be able to track their prey through infiltration, hacking, and threat tactics, also leveraging a specialized arsenal of weapons. The focus on teamwork with fellow hunters, each with unique skills and personal experiences, adds an extra level of strategy to the game.

However, the development and release of the game may be affected by recent financial issues of the publisher Nacon, which is in a state of insolvency. Although the release is scheduled for more than three years in the future, this financial uncertainty worries those following the Teyon project, the studio responsible for the development. Teyon has previously succeeded with titles based on licensed properties, generating positive expectations around this new release.

Despite the doubts about Nacon’s future, the gaming community is enthusiastic about the new announcement, especially considering Teyon’s history with games like Robocop: Rogue City and Terminator: Resistance.The ambition to include role-playing elements in Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish could be an exciting step and well-received by fans of the genre.

The projects of this company that has given us titles like RoboCop: Rogue City are in danger

Nacon, the company responsible for titles like RoboCop: Rogue City and Hell is Us, has officially declared its state of insolvency and has requested a judicial reorganization before the French courts. This decision aims to avoid imminent bankruptcy after acknowledging that it does not have enough assets to cover its debts. Nacon’s financial situation has deteriorated, largely due to the inability of its main shareholder, Bigben Interactive, to refinance a significant loan, which has jeopardized the company’s stability by failing to meet its financial commitments.

Nacon, the company responsible for titles like RoboCop: Rogue City and Hell is Us, has officially declared its state of insolvency and has requested a judicial reorganization before the French courts. This decision aims to avoid imminent bankruptcy after acknowledging that it does not have enough assets to cover its debts. Nacon’s financial situation has deteriorated, largely due to the inability of its main shareholder, Bigben Interactive, to refinance a significant loan, which has jeopardized the company’s stability by failing to meet its financial commitments.

There is still a slight hope

As a result, Nacon has resorted to a legal mechanism that allows it to temporarily freeze its debts. This judicial process provides a breather for the company’s management, which can now negotiate with its creditors and seek a viable solution to continue its operations. The company has emphasized that its priority is to protect the jobs of its employees and develop a continuity plan that is acceptable to the involved banking entities.

The situation becomes even more complicated as Nacon plans to launch several anticipated video games and a promotional event, Nacon Connect, scheduled for March 4th. At this event, new titles will be presented, including the action RPG Edge of Memories and the horror adventure Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. This launch will be crucial not only to showcase their catalog but also to calm investors’ concerns amid the company’s current crisis.

Additionally, Nacon’s shares on the Paris stock exchange were suspended on February 20 as a preventive measure to avoid a drastic drop in their value, since the court’s decision on the reorganization is expected in early March. Uncertainty about the company’s future remains high, as the video game industry faces structural changes and unprecedented layoffs in the sector.

The FIA has announced a new agreement with Nacon to develop a series of WRC rally games, set to be released in 2027. This collaboration comes less than a month after the conclusion of the FIA’s licensing contract with Codemasters, the well-known racing studio acquired by Electronic Arts. According to Arne Dirks, marketing director of the FIA World Rally Championship, Nacon was selected after a thorough evaluation for its vision and experience in creating rally games.

A much-anticipated return for racing enthusiasts

The new titles will represent a “complete reboot” of the series, which includes official rallies, vehicles, teams, drivers, and sponsors. Nacon has emphasized its intention to transform the WRC gaming experience into “epic adventures,” although specific details about possible live service features have not been revealed, which has raised some doubts among fans.

The public’s reaction to the news has been varied. While some gamers lament the loss of Codemasters, known for their high production quality in video game development, others are open to the return of Kylotonn, the French developer that created WRC games for Nacon for nearly a decade before Codemasters acquired the license in 2020. Despite Kylotonn’s last game, WRC Generations, receiving mixed reviews on Steam, earlier titles like WRC 7 and WRC 10 were well received by the community.

Nacon has exclusive rights to develop WRC games on PC and consoles for a period of six seasons, starting in 2027. However, the company has not confirmed whether Kylotonn will be responsible for the development of these new titles. The uncertainty of the gaming community is reflected in various forums where both hope in Kylotonn’s potential and disappointment over the absence of Codemasters are expressed.

Terminator returns to the video game, this time in an open world… and early access

Terminator Survivors is the new game set in the Terminator universe, featuring an open world and centered around survival gameplay.

Terminator is one of those franchises that never tire. While the movies after the third one have been divisive, to say the least, it continues to work thanks to the iconic nature of its characters. Skynet, the different robot models, and the idea of human resistance against an evil AI is something that sounds more and more real. That’s why it shouldn’t surprise us that it continues to function as a franchise. Or that a new video game has been announced within it.

Nacon has announced a new game in the franchise called Terminator: Survivors. This will be an open-world survival game, with the possibility of playing solo or in cooperative mode for up to 4 players. The game will take place four years after Judgment Day, putting us in the shoes of human survivors who must find a way to survive in the hostile environment of a world dominated by Skynet. Having to face machines and other human factions, our goal is to survive one more day.

What we can expect is a mystery. This is the first game developed by Nacon Studio Milan, which is divided into two subsidiaries: RaceWard Studio, which has already released games like Rims Racing or TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3, and Nacon Studio Milan, focused on the development of this game.

If you want to play Terminator: Survivors, you will still have to wait a bit. The game will enter early access on October 24th on Steam, without a specific release date. For the final release, the confirmed platforms are, in addition to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
