Nacon Files for Insolvency Ahead of Planned March Showcase

Nacon Files For Insolvency, Putting The Company In Big Trouble Before Its March Showcase

After revealing that the writing is on the wall, the known AA publisher and accessory maker Nacon has filed for insolvency, putting the company in jeopardy.

Last week, it was reported that Bigben Interactive (Nacon’s parent company) was facing serious financial issues that were affecting its subsidiaries’ businesses. According to a Traxion report, Nacon temporarily suspended trading in its shares last week, as its dire financial straits forced it to restructure to continue operations. Bigben Interactive reportedly struggled to pay a 43 million euro debt to bondholders, and these financial issues have hit a boiling point.

This boiling point has forced Nacon to announce that the company has filed for insolvency. The company holds 16 development studios and a publishing arm under its banner, and the filing puts the entire company (including those studios) in jeopardy. The announcement reads, “The aim of this procedure is to assess all possible solutions to ensure the sustainability of the Company’s activity under the best possible conditions, protect employees, and preserve jobs, while renegotiating with its creditors in a calm and constructive framework,” and the filing will help achieve this.

With the filing, the company would be able to continue operating its business and develop a payment plan to effectively pull it out of debt. If not, insolvency can lead to bankruptcy; the more severe possibility is business liquidation. The developer and peripheral maker has notably announced that it will air its next Nacon Connect presentation on March 4 this month, which will include new game announcements and presentations for previously announced games such as Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, The Mound: Omen of Cthulu, and Edge of Memories.

As of this posting, Nacon has not determined whether the showcase is also in jeopardy, or whether these filings will stall the 1.0 release of Greedfall 2: The Dying World (which was scheduled to launch March 12). But as it stands, things aren’t looking good for the company.

(Credit: Nacon)

It may still be the beginning of 2026, but there are still plenty of new PlayStation 5 games to keep players busy until the heavy hitters release later this year. From High on Life 2 to Yakuza Kiwami 3, there are tons of new experiences to explore that are available on the PlayStation Store. That includes Styx: Blades of Greed, the newest entry in the stealth action-adventure series.

What is Styx: Blades of Greed?

Developed by Cyanide Studio and published by Nacon, Styx: Blades of Greed is the third entry in the action-adventure series, which began with 2014’s Styx: Master of Shadows. All three entries serve as prequels to Cyanide Studio’s fantasy action RPG, Of Orcs and Men, which was released for the PS3 in 2012.

Here is a description of Styx: Blades of Greed, giving players an idea of what to expect from the newly released PS5 entry:

“No more working for others! This time, our famous green-skinned friend is pursuing his own goal and leading his own crew. Aboard his zeppelin, Styx and his crew hunt down a new, mysterious power source: Quartz. Throughout your mischievous journey, you’ll encounter familiar faces and colorful new characters while outwitting the Inquisition’s traps. This adventure marks the beginning of the Great War and the creation of the Black Hand, the mercenary group central to the events of Of Orcs and Men.”

There are several different editions of Styx: Blades of Greed to choose from. The Standard Edition, which just comes with the base game, is $49.99. The Quartz Edition, which includes some extra goodies, is $59.99. Lastly, the most expensive edition, titled Styx Collection, includes everything from the Quartz Edition plus the first two games, Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness, for $69.99. Here is everything included in the Styx Collection:

  • Base game
  • Master of Shadows Skin
  • Greedy Skin Pack
  • Legacy Skin Pack
  • Weapon Pack
  • Styx: Master of Shadows (PS4)
  • Styx: Shards of Darkness (PS4)

Just before its release, Styx: Blades of Greed has been getting decent reviews. According to the review aggregate site Metacritic, it has garnered an average score of 75 based on 16 critic reviews.

Why You’ll Love to Hate Styx

Why You’ll Love to Hate Styx

  • Franck Piberger, Community Manager at Nacon
Styx: Blades of Greed

Not every hero fights for glory or is destined to save kingdoms. Not every legend is born from noble sacrifice. Some are forged in shadows, driven by selfish ambition, bad decisions, and an impressive lack of moral standards.

In Styx: Blades of Greed, our favorite goblin anti-hero returns with a sharper blade, a sharper tongue, and a brand-new obsession: Quartz… no matter whom he has to kill along the way. Whether you’ve followed Styx since his early days or you’re about to meet him for the first time, here’s why he’s the kind of character you’ll absolutely love to hate

Embodying the perfect anti-hero

As a goblin, Styx isn’t your typical fantasy protagonist and that’s exactly the point.

He isn’t the chosen one here to save the world. He’s not a hero. He’s a sharp-tongued protagonist, here to survive, preferably with a full purse and someone else taking the blame. Armed with razor-sharp sarcasm and a constant stream of cynical observations, Styx comments on nearly everything he encounters, mocking pompous rulers, scoffing at heroic ideals, and questioning the intelligence of just about everyone around him.

His dark humor isn’t simply there for comic relief–It defines how he sees the world: a broken place run by fools, where survival belongs to the clever, the quiet, and the ruthless. Unlike traditional fantasy protagonists who rise to greatness through destiny, Styx stumbles into power through opportunism. He survives not because he’s chosen… but because he’s adaptable.

If you’re tired of spotless heroes and noble speeches, Styx offers something refreshingly different: a protagonist who openly admits he’s in it for himself.

Styx: Blades of Greed

The rise of the anti-hero

Styx’s evolution mirrors his growing ambition.

First introduced as a secondary character in Of Orcs and Men, Styx quickly stood out thanks to his personality and unconventional perspective. That popularity led to his first starring role in Styx: Master of Shadows, Styx’s first official prequel, where players experienced pure stealth through the eyes of a fragile-but-cunning goblin. The journey continued in Styx: Shards of Darkness, expanding environments, tools, and narrative scope. And now, Blades of Greed pushes Styx further than ever before.

Across these adventures, players watched Styx grow from a clone into a seasoned infiltrator, capable of thwarting evil schemes from powerful organizations. In his new adventure, Styx takes his biggest step forward yet. He’s no longer working exclusively for others or just infiltrating someone else’s plan. He’s no longer content being a disposable asset.

Now, Styx leads his own crew.

With leadership comes responsibility… at least in theory. In reality, it means bigger targets, higher risks, and far more opportunities for stealing big stuff. It’s a natural evolution for a character who’s always wanted control, power, and most of all, profit.

Styx: Blades of Greed

Stealth with a bad attitude

Styx’s personality doesn’t stop at dialogue; it directly shapes how you play.

Blades of Greed is built around the idea that stealth isn’t honorable. It’s opportunistic.

You’re encouraged to observe, experiment, and exploit.

Set traps.

Create distractions.

Poison enemies.

The goal isn’t to fight fair.

The goal is to win.

Why fight fair when you can rig the entire situation in your favor? Direct confrontation is rarely the smartest option. Players are encouraged to observe, manipulate, and exploit enemy behavior using every dirty trick available.

Every environment is designed with multiple infiltration paths, vertical traversal options, and hidden opportunities that reward curiosity.

Styx’s toolkit supports this freedom with a blend of deadly tools, Amber and Quartz powers, and improvised tricks. Whether you prefer surgical precision or controlled mayhem, the game adapts to your style.

In short: if a plan feels devious, Styx probably approves.

Styx: Blades of Greed

A story of greed fueled by uprising

At the center of Styx’s newest scheme lies a mysterious resource known as Quartz.

Rare, powerful, and dangerously coveted, Quartz has the potential to reshape the balance of power, and Styx wants it for himself.

Leading his crew across hostile territories and into heavily guarded strongholds, Styx becomes entangled in an emerging war between Humans, Elves, and Orcs for control over Quartz. Old enemies resurface, new opportunities emerge, and every decision carries consequences.

Uprising, ambition, and greed drive the story forward, pushing Styx into bigger risks and even bigger payoffs, because for Styx, it’s never just about survival anymore–It’s about taking what the world owes him.

Styx: Blades of Greed

Ready to embrace greed?

In Styx: Blades of Greed, you’ll explore intricate environments filled with verticality and hidden routes, master an expanded suite of stealth abilities and dirty tricks, and experience a narrative driven by ambition, and Styx’s unmistakable dark humor.

Styx: Blades of Greed launches February 19 on Xbox Series X|S.

Preorder the game or the Quartz Edition (Deluxe) now, sharpen your blades, and prepare to follow the greediest goblin in fantasy back into the shadows. And don’t forget: with the Quartz Edition, you can play Styx: Blades of Greed on Feb 17, 48 hours before the official launch!

Best Games Like Styx: Blades of Greed to Play Right Now

Styx: Blades of Greed releases on February 19th, but what if you want to jump into a stealth game right now?

The good news is that, while stealth isn’t as dominant as it once was, the genre has delivered some excellent releases in recent years. So, if you’re looking to be a very sneaky little guy, you’ve got plenty of great options to choose from.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best stealth games to play while you wait for Styx: Blades of Greed.


Styx: Blades of Greed on PC

Best Games Like Styx: Blades of Greed

Styx: Blades of Greed has a strong fantasy flavour, which can be surprisingly hard to find in stealth games, but it’s not impossible. This list includes a mix of modern stealth titles, covering everything from fantasy assassins to tactical infiltration and classic stealth experiences.

We’re very excited about Styx giving us a proper new entry in the genre, make no mistake, but these games should help scratch that stealth itch in the meantime.


Assassin's Creed Shadows on PC

Assassin’s Creed Shadows

While some recent Assassin’s Creed games have leaned more into action-RPG mechanics, Assassin’s Creed Shadows brings stealth back to the forefront.

Set in Japan, you’ll switch between a ninja and a samurai as you progress through the story, tackling enemies in different ways depending on your playstyle. It’s a stunningly beautiful game with tons of stylish stealth options in a world packed with wonder.


Hitman: World of Assassination on PC

Hitman: World of Assassination

Hitman: World of Assassination is basically the pinnacle of the series. It keeps the franchise’s signature humour while offering an absurd number of ways to complete each mission.

With a huge selection of locations, endless creative assassinations, and just as many ways to fail spectacularly, it’s one of the most flexible stealth sandboxes ever made.


Dishonored 2 on PC

Dishonored 2

Dishonored 2 is somehow 10 years old this year… try not to think about that too hard.

If you’re looking for a stealth game with a fantasy vibe, this is one of the best picks. You play as a supernatural assassin, and while you can go non-lethal, the world reacts dynamically to your choices. Few stealth games offer this level of player-driven world impact.


Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain on Pc

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain turned ten last year, which is also not worth dwelling on.

While the entire Metal Gear series is great for stealth fans, this is arguably the best entry to dive into today. Its open-world design gives you unmatched freedom, and the huge range of tools lets you approach every mission in wildly different ways.


Mark of the Ninja: Remastered on PC

Mark of the Ninja: Remastered

If you’d rather go 2D, Mark of the Ninja: Remastered is essential.

This modernised version of the classic stealth platformer features improved visuals and smoother gameplay, all wrapped in a gorgeous art style. It’s packed with clever mechanics and stylish stealth options that evolve as you progress.


Aragami 2 on PC

Aragami 2

Aragami 2 has you controlling a superpowered ninja from the shadow clan with a very simple job: be extremely good at killing things quietly.

Teleporting through shadows is a highlight, but the real standout feature is co-op. Sneaking through levels with a friend is incredibly fun! (Assuming your friend is actually stealthy and not a walking alarm bell.)


Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew on PC

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew mixes stealth with strategy, giving you a top-down tactical view of your crew’s actions.

You’ll coordinate multiple characters, time their abilities perfectly, and pull off elaborate stealth plays. Plus, you’re a pirate commanding a ghost ship. Which is objectively very cool.


Final Thoughts

Whether you want fantasy stealth, open-world infiltration, or tactical team-based sneaking, these games should keep you busy until Styx: Blades of Greed arrives.

Styx: Blades of Greed review

Boy am I glad to see Styx again. Not because I felt any great yearning to return to the murky, Temu-Warhammer dark fantasy setting of long-forgotten RPG Of Orcs and Men, you understand. But because Blades of Greed represents an ever dwindling chunk of ore from that once rich seam of B-tier games that are just bloody good at what they do. The zenith of the "shorter games with worse graphics" category that people on Bluesky claim to want (and rarely seem to actively seek out, alas).

Styx: Blades of Greed paints a nice stealthy picture in its latest trailer, even if its titular goblin can't shut up

A nice, juicy nine-minute-long Styx: Blades of Greed gameplay trailer has been plucked from the tree of stealth games today. Juicy in the sense that nine minutes is plenty of time to help ascertain whether a game looks like it could be fun, yet if we're sticking with this metaphor this is one of those apples that's really good but has a nasty bruise on it you have to avoid.

Styx: Blades of Greed isn't releasing in 2025 after all, but that's okay, because it's got a firm release date now

"Where the hell did that goblin go?" asks a mean knight of some sort whose English accent is of questionable authenticity at the beginning of the latest trailer for Styx: Blades of Greed. This is a reasonable question! When the goblin stealth game was revealed earlier this year, it was slated for a 2025 release, except the rest of the year is in very short supply. So, this trailer acts as a double way: a confirmation of a delay, and the announcement of a proper release date.
