Roblox · Wed Apr 29, 2026 3:51 pm

Quick Summary

On 2026-04-28, French outlet Origami reported that game studio Spiders could be liquidated on 2026-04-29 after no buyer was found.
GreedFall: The Dying World reached its full launch window on 2026-03-12, so this report came only about 7 weeks later.
Nacon SA filed for insolvency on 2026-02-25, and Nacon said on 2026-03-23 that Spiders was one of four subsidiaries also filing for insolvency.

What's New
This is not a Roblox Corporation feature update. It is still important Roblox platform news for creators, because it shows how fast game studios can change direction.

Why this changed:

Parent company Nacon SA has debt pressure and restructuring steps in motion.
Origami says Nacon SA tried to sell Spiders but got no buyer.
Because of that, the next step is reportedly liquidation, which can end active development work.

As of 2026-04-29, this is still reported news, not a full final public closure post from Spiders itself.
Why You Should Care
If you make or play Roblox games, this story is a real wake-up call.

Big teams can launch a game, then face money problems super fast.

For players: Follow studio updates before spending lots of time in a new game world. Plans can change quickly.
For Roblox developers: Keep backups, clean project files, and clear team docs. If a teammate leaves, your game can still survive.
For young creators: Learn portable skills (UI, scripting, community work). Those skills help you move to new projects if one game stops.
