Annapurna’s Entire Gaming Staff Quits: Report
The staff of Annapurna Interactive reportedly resigned en masse after a deal to spin off the group fell through.
Founded in 2016, Annapurna Interactive has partnered with boutique game studios for several critically acclaimed titles, including “Stray” (pictured above), described as a “third-person cat adventure game set amidst the detailed, neon-lit alleys of a decaying cybercity,” as well as “What Remains of Edith Finch,” “Outer Wilds” and “Neon White.” The staff exodus came after a breakdown in talks between Ellison and Nathan Gary, formerly president of Annapurna Interactive, to spin the gaming unit off as a separate company. Annapurna Interactive says on its website that it “works with game creators from around the world” to develop and release “personal experiences for everyone.” The division’s portfolio of game titles includes “Stray,” “Neon White,” “Outer Wilds,” “Cocoon,” “Storyteller,” “What Remains of Edith Finch,” “Sayonara Wild Hearts,” “Thirsty Suitors,” “Lorelei and the Laser Eyes,” “Solar Ash,” “Flock” and “A Memoir Blue.” Its upcoming slate has included “Forever Ago,” “Skin Deep,” “Bounty Star,” “Silent Hill: Townfall,” “Wanderstop,” “Mixtape” and “Morsels.”
