Overview
- The liquidation was announced by Midgar founder Jérémy Zeler-Maury after a court ordered the company to close on Monday, July 20, 2026.
- Zeler-Maury said the studio worked hard to find a buyer but could not complete a deal within the legal timeframe of the insolvency process.
- Midgar, founded in 2008 and known for Hover, Edge of Eternity and Edge of Memories, lists between 11 and 50 employees on LinkedIn but the exact number affected was not given.
- The closure follows earlier 2026 insolvency filings by Nacon subsidiaries such as Spiders, Kylotonn and Cyanide and recent buyer activity for some assets like Slitherine’s purchase of Blood Bowl rights.
- The studio’s projects and intellectual property may be sold, transferred or left inactive depending on creditor and court actions, and the founder urged studios and recruiters to contact displaced staff as an immediate priority.
