Annapurna Games Unfazed by Resignation Amid Industry Shakeup

Annapurna Interactive's mass resignation leaves some game projects unaffected. While the future of many games remains uncertain, several developers have confirmed their projects are continuing.

Key Games Continuing Development:

The recent mass resignation at Annapurna Interactive has caused significant upheaval, but some games appear to be weathering the storm. Remedy Entertainment, for example, confirmed that development of Control 2, which they are self-publishing, remains on track. Their deal is with Annapurna Pictures, not Interactive.

Davey Wreden and Team Ivy Road also assured fans that Wanderstop is progressing as planned. Similarly, Matt Newell's Lushfoil Photography Sim, nearing completion, is expected to remain unaffected. Beethoven & Dinosaur also confirmed that Mixtape is still in development.

Games Facing Uncertainty:

However, the situation is less clear for other titles. No Code's Silent Hill: Downfall, Furcula's Morsels, Great Ape Games' The Lost Wild, Dinogod's Bounty Star, and others await developer updates. The status of Annapurna Interactive's internally developed Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth is also unknown.

Annapurna's Response:

Annapurna Pictures CEO Megan Ellison stated that supporting their developer and publishing partners is their top priority during this transition.

The mass resignation resulted from disagreements over the studio's future direction. Despite the significant setback, Annapurna Pictures remains committed to interactive entertainment. The full impact on the affected games remains to be seen.
