Court Orders Midgar Studio to Liquidate After Failing to Find a Buyer
Midgar Studio, the French developer behind Edge of Eternity and Edge of Memories, has been ordered by a court to liquidate after efforts to secure a buyer proved unsuccessful. The closure marks a grim end for the studio, which was owned by Nacon, the French publisher that filed for insolvency earlier in 2026. With no acquirer stepping forward, the court had little choice but to move forward with full liquidation.
The news is another significant blow to the Nacon family of studios, as the publisher's financial troubles continue to ripple outward to its subsidiaries. Midgar had built a modest but dedicated following through its JRPG-inspired titles, and its shutdown leaves those projects without a future. The liquidation order effectively closes the book on a studio that had been working to carve out a niche in the crowded RPG space.
