French developer Spiders, best known for RPGs including GreedFall and Steelrising, is reportedly set to close as part of restructuring at publisher Nacon, according to a report from French outlet Origami relayed by Pure Xbox.

Origami's piece, which has been roughly translated from French, states that Spiders "will soon close" after efforts to find a buyer during Nacon's insolvency process were unsuccessful. The closure is presented as a consequence of the wider financial difficulties facing Nacon, which filed for insolvency earlier in February.

Spiders has produced a string of narrative-led action-RPGs, with GreedFall being the studio's highest-profile release. The reported shutdown places current projects and studio staff in an uncertain position, with details on redundancies, project status and rights ownership not disclosed in the available reports.

No formal confirmation from Nacon or Spiders had been published at the time of the Pure Xbox article. The report on this situation may be read in full via Pure Xbox's coverage: Pure Xbox — Nacon's RPG studio seemingly shutting down.

The potential closure highlights the wider pressures facing mid-sized developers amid publisher insolvency and restructuring, and follows a period of consolidation and uncertainty across parts of the industry.
