the entire staff of Annapurna Interactive, the gaming division of Megan Ellison’s Annapurna, has resigned after failing to convince Ellison to let them spin off its games division into a new company. IGN is corroborating the report.
“All 25 members of the Annapurna Interactive team collectively resigned,’’ former president Nathan Gary and staffers told Bloomberg. “This was one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make and we did not take this action lightly.”

Happy to see solidarity and defiance, but…
but also, good for them for standing their ground. sounds like things were being shuffled around there and I’m sure they’ll be back in some capacity elsewhereI know that Annapurna have some good movies, A24 style, but haven’t heard of any game from them. What should I check out?
Outer Wilds is under their umbrella, and it’s my favorite game of all time.
What do you like about it? It’s one I’ve almost bought multiple times.
Edit. Well you’ve convinced me. I never looked into it and I assumed that it was some sort of open world game, not that it was story and puzzle driven. I’ll definitely be checking this out. Thanks for the recommendation wonderful internet people.
It’s a game where you get dropped into a little toy solar system where each planet and celestial body has its own secrets and rules that govern how you interact with it. You progress by learning these things and piecing together a story that kind of makes you feel how small and powerless but still beautiful our time here is.
It’s magical.
There’s one grand puzzle for you to solve, and you solve it by solving lots of tiny puzzles. The “oh shit” moments always happen at grander and grander scales.
Plus, I cried at the ending.
I shouted in sheer terror at the ending lol. That was nuts
probably the most satisfying puzzle game I’ve ever played with an impeccable atmosphere/style and tells a wonderful story. very unique experience
They also published Stray which is very adorable.
They didn’t develop it, but they published Journey, which might be one of the best video games ever made. Also the pathless is a personal favorite of mine.
Already played Jorney on the ps3, didn’t knew it was from them.
If you enjoyed journey, the pathless is pretty good, too. Stray is pretty good, as well.
On PlayStation it was Sony. They published the PC and iOS versions. Thatgamecompany is the developer. Former developers from Thatgamecompany also made The Pathless (published by Annapurna).
They published a ton of good ones though. What Remains of Edith Finch, Outer Wilds, Kentucky Route Zero… pretty much of my library.
That explains why I didn’t got the connection
I enjoyed Donut County and Neon White that they published
They decided to develop and not just publish games, can’t help but think it’s related. Thankfully their hits were developed by other studios and only published here, so unlike the comments on the article, there’s no reason there can’t be another Stray or whatever.
