Besides those two anticipated games with iconic characters, Nacon's upcoming 2023 titles that will be discussed include WW1 horror-game Ad Infinitum as well as the roguelike Ravenswatch. Luckily, Nacon Connect 2023 is an online conference that fans can access via Nacon's official Twitch and YouTube channels, so there's no need to travel.Nacon is a French company that produces many game accessories as well as the games themselves. It started out as Bigben Interactive in 1981, and wouldn't start producing its own games until 2002. The parent company of Bigben Interactive would consolidate it with its gaming accessory company Nacon in 2019. It produces many sports, arcade, and board game-style video games but has also created some Warhammer titles, as well as Blood Bowl: Death Zone. It has a loaded release schedule for 2023, with another project for an iconic franchise, a Terminator survival game, planned even further down the line.Nacon announced via Twitter that this year its online press conference, Nacon Connect, is set to take place on March 9 at 7 PM CET or 1 PM EST. The company plans to give players details on its lineup of 25 games set to roll out in the near future. Gamers will get a sneak peek at new stunning images of a vibrantly colored Middle-earth from the action-adventure title TheLord of the Ring: Gollum, as well as some gameplay from the stylish FPS Robocop: Rogue City. The only racing game it officially plans to speak on is its motorcycle game TT3: Ride on the Edge, but it may also give updates on Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown, the first Test Drive game in over a decade.
The second Nacom Connect announcement got players commenting excitedly asking the company if Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown would be included. While most of the commenters' attention was focused on the racing game, the remaining bulk of replies focused on Robocop, the intense action-adventure horror game Hell Is Us, and Gollum. Wanting to know more about The Lord of the Rings: Gollum's story of Gollum after he's captured by Ulairi and thrown into the Orcish mines of Mordor.
Whether Nacon tasks players with managing Gollum's split personality as they help him escape or with upholding the law as Peter Weller, AKA Robocop, it seems poised to produce some hits, driven by the star power of iconic blockbusters.
