French AA gaming developer and accessory manufacturer Nacon has filed for insolvency after its majority shareholder Bigben failed to make a loan repayment, the company said in a press release. "To date, the company reports available assets do not allow it to meet its liabilities," Nacon wrote. The objective with insolvency, it said, was to allow "continued operation, protect employees and maintain jobs while renegotiating with its creditors."
Nacon is behind the games Styx: Blades of Greed and was set to publish Terminator: Survivors before that title was delayed. It published Hell is Us last year to some praise, but Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown was buggy on release and failed to find much of an audience. The company will stream its next Nacon Connect presentation on March 4, and will supposedly show off some new games and footage for previously revealed games like Endurance Motorsport Series and Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss.
The company also makes hardware like controllers and headsets and racing sim accessories via its Revosim brand. Those products never really caught on with mainstream gamers but did have some success with the pro gaming crowd.
With Nacon's insolvency, the future of those games and accessories is now in question. A court will decide on the company's insolvency request at a hearing in early March, but in the meantime, trading of its shares is suspended.

If your bedside table looks anything like most people’s, it’s basically a charging graveyard. There’s a phone, a smartwatch, a pair of earbuds, maybe a tablet, and enough cables to qualify as a fire hazard. The whole setup is functional, sure, but it’s also the kind of thing you instinctively hide behind a lamp so guests don’t judge you. Nova, a concept by designer Parth Amlani, thinks there’s a much better way to handle all of this.
The idea behind Nova is simple but surprisingly rare: instead of designing yet another flat, forgettable charging puck, Amlani went for something you’d actually want to display. The result is a wide, trapezoidal charging station with a sculptural, almost pyramidal silhouette, two open horizontal bays running through its body, and a warm copper accent strip along one side. Put it on a nightstand, and it looks more like a decorative object than a piece of tech hardware.
Designer: Parth Amlani
What makes Nova genuinely clever, though, is that its translucent body doubles as a soft ambient light source, glowing warmly from within when the room goes dark. That means it can replace your bedside lamp entirely, or at the very least make a strong case for doing so. It stops being something you plug in and forget about, and starts being something that actually contributes to how a room feels at night.
The charging hardware underneath all that thoughtful design is no slouch, either. Nova can power up to seven devices at once, with four 15W wireless pads for phones, a 5W pad for earbuds, a 3W watch puck, and two retractable USB-C cables rated at 15W each for anything else that needs a wire. Those retractable outputs are a genuinely useful touch, handling the odd peripheral without leaving a permanent cable draped across your table.
It’s also worth noting that Nova is much further along than the average design concept that looks great in renderings and never gets built. Amlani took it through full manufacturing refinement, including injection-moulding-ready geometry, a snap-fit structure, and a removable back panel for servicing.
The biggest open question is whether its ambient glow is bright enough to stand in for an actual bedside lamp or whether it just adds a nice atmospheric accent. That distinction will matter a lot to anyone hoping to clear some clutter from their nightstand. For now, though, it’s one of the more original answers to a problem that most charging products are content to completely ignore.
