Spiders (company)
French video game developer
Spiders was a French video game developer specializing in action role-playing games.
History
Spiders was created in 2008 by former Monte Cristo developers who had worked together the previous year on the game Silverfall. Wanting to stay together after the completion of this game, some developers team up to found Spiders. Jehanne Rousseau is the director.
In addition to its role as service provider to other developers, in particular by porting games to Xbox 360, the studio has specialized in a specific genre, namely role-playing games.
In July 2019, French publisher Bigben Interactive, now known as Nacon, announced that it had acquired Spiders. In July 2020, the studio revealed its next game, Steelrising, an action RPG set during the French Revolution. The game was later released in 2022.
In February 2026, Nacon filed for insolvency just weeks before Spiders launched the full release of GreedFall 2. By the following month, several subsidiaries, including Spiders, had also filed for insolvency.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Spiders (company)” as french video game developer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as french video game developer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15813203. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2008, 2019, 2020 and 2022.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
