Test Drive Unlimited developer to undergo job losses during Nacon “resizing”

The creators of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown and the upcoming Endurance Motorsport Series, Kylotonn, will suffer layoffs, it has been confirmed by parent company Nacon.

The French gaming giant filed for insolvency nearly three months ago, throwing uncertainty across its operations. Today, 18th May 2026, it has issued a Q4 update for its 2025-2026 financial year.

It was here that it confirmed job losses at KT Racing (née Kylotonn) as part of what it called “restructuring” as part of “judicial reorganisation proceedings”.

Nacon also confirms a “workforce restructuring”, which will result in job losses.

“The Company [Nacon] has undertaken an in-depth strategic review of all its activities,” it said.

“This process aims to rationalise investments in the projects that are least risky and to build a solid and sustainable operating model.

“In this context, the company has undertaken a significant effort to streamline its cost structure, accompanied by a resizing of its workforce.

“This initiative aims to create a more agile organisation, capable of achieving sustainable improvements in structural efficiency.”

Support for KT Racing’s Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown was previously confirmed for at least the rest of this year, with the much-requested real estate feature due later in 2026.

Meanwhile, Endurance Motorsport Series, while lacking a release date presently, is still on track for a release this year and recently showcased new gameplay.

It is not yet clear how many people currently working at KT Racing will be part of the restructuring-affected job losses.

Of note, Nacon has once again secured the rights to future FIA World Rally Championship games from 2027, but they will be created by a new Grit Games studio, instead of the former developers, KT.

Similarly, MXGP 26 will be handled entirely by Artefacts Studio, as opposed to a collab with KT for MXGP 24. Nacon and Rennsport have also parted ways when it comes to console publishing.

Revenue for Nacon between January and March 2026 fell by 3.8% compared to last year to €36.6 million.
