About

Originally established in 1981 as Bigben Interactive, the company rebranded its gaming operations under the Nacon name in 2020. Based in Lesquin, France, it publishes a wide variety of AA video games, racing simulators, and sports titles, while also manufacturing gaming peripherals.
The publisher's catalog expanded significantly in the late 2010s through targeted acquisitions of development studios and key publishing rights. During this period of growth, the company distributed notable simulation and sports titles, including Hunting Simulator (2018) and the off-road racing game V-Rally 4 (2018). It also strengthened its presence in niche motorsport and athletic simulations with the releases of TT Isle of Man (2019), TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge (2019), and Tennis World Tour: Roland Garros Edition (2019). Additionally, the company expanded its strategy and simulation offerings to home consoles by publishing Transport Fever 2: Console Edition (2019).
To support its publishing pipeline, the company acquired several prominent development studios, including Cyanide, Appeal Studios, and Kylotonn. These acquisitions allowed the company to secure proprietary game engines and establish a steady output of mid-tier titles. By focusing on dedicated fanbases for specialized genres like motorcycling, cycling, and tactical role-playing games, the publisher carved out a distinct market position separate from major triple-A publishers.
