Recent mass resignations at Annapurna Interactive have raised concerns about the future of several game projects. However, some titles appear unaffected.

Control 2 and Other Games Continue Development

Despite the upheaval, several developers have confirmed their projects remain on track. Remedy Entertainment, self-publishing Control 2, stated their agreement is with Annapurna Pictures, ensuring continued development. Davey Wreden (creator of The Stanley Parable) and Team Ivy Road similarly confirmed Wanderstop's ongoing progress. Matt Newell's Lushfoil Photography Sim, nearing completion, also anticipates minimal disruption. Beethoven & Dinosaur also reassured fans that Mixtape development continues.

Uncertainty Remains for Other Titles

Conversely, the status of other games remains uncertain. Developers of titles like Silent Hill: Downfall, Morsels, The Lost Wild, Bounty Star, and the internally developed Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth have yet to provide updates.

Annapurna's Response and Future

Annapurna Pictures CEO Megan Ellison pledged continued support for its development and publishing partners. The mass resignation followed failed negotiations for the studio's independence, highlighting internal conflicts. Despite the turmoil, Ellison remains committed to Annapurna's presence in interactive entertainment.

While some projects seem secure, the long-term impact on Annapurna Interactive's portfolio remains to be seen. The situation underscores the complexities and potential vulnerabilities within the game development industry.
