Nacon S.A. is a French video game publisher and console accessory manufacturer based in Lesquin. Originally established in 1981 as Bigben Interactive, the company consolidated its operations and rebranded as Nacon in 2020. It is known for publishing AA video games across various genres, including sports, simulation, and racing titles.
The company's publishing portfolio expanded significantly in the mid-2010s through partnerships with various European development studios. Notable releases from this period include the fantasy sports strategy game
Blood Bowl II (2015), developed by Cyanide, and the realistic outdoor recreation title
Hunting Simulator (2017). To capture the professional sports market, the publisher also released
Tennis World Tour (2018), aiming to establish a recurring athletic franchise.
To secure intellectual properties and development capabilities, the organization acquired several prominent studios. This integration strategy brought developers like Cyanide, Kylotonn, Spiders, and Daedalic Entertainment under its corporate umbrella. These acquisitions allowed the publisher to diversify into role-playing games, adventure titles, and official motorsport simulations, securing long-term distribution rights and strengthening its position in the mid-tier gaming market.
