Indie Publisher Nakana.io Is Closing, All Games Now Heavily Discounted
Indie publisher Nakana.io has announced that it will cease operations from autumn 2026. The closure affects a publisher known for arthouse and emotionally focused games, although its catalogue is expected to remain available for purchase afterwards, likely through the individual developers.
As a final promotion, all ten Nakana.io titles are heavily discounted in the US and Europe. In the UK and Europe they cost 99p/€0.99 each, while US customers who already own a Nakana.io game can buy the others for $0.10; otherwise, titles appear to be reduced to $1.99. The catalogue includes Ahro, Mythic Ocean, Journey of the Broken Circle, Lydia and Infini.
In short
- Nakana.io will close in autumn 2026.
- Its ten games are heavily discounted.
- The games should remain on sale afterwards.
Explained simply
Nakana.io is an independent video game publisher, which helps developers release and sell games. Its catalogue is known for smaller, art-led titles that often focus on personal or emotional stories, including Lydia, Ahro and Mythic Ocean.
When a publisher closes, the games it has released may still be available, but their future sale and support can depend on the developers and the shops where they are sold. Nakana.io’s closure matters to players who want to buy its games and to the developers whose titles have been part of its catalogue.
