Control 2 Among Annapurna Interactive Video Games Seemingly Unaffected by Company’s Mass Resignation

Recent mass resignations at Annapurna Interactive have raised concerns about the future of several games in development. However, some projects appear unaffected. This article clarifies the status of several high-profile titles.

Control 2, Wanderstop, and More Remain on Track

While the mass exodus caused uncertainty, several developers have confirmed their projects are progressing. Remedy Entertainment, self-publishing Control 2, stated their deal is with Annapurna Pictures and development continues unaffected. Davey Wreden and Team Ivy Road similarly assured fans that Wanderstop remains on schedule for a near-future release. Matt Newell's Lushfoil Photography Sim, nearing completion, also anticipates minimal disruption, though acknowledging the loss of the Annapurna Interactive team. Beethoven & Dinosaur confirmed continued development of Mixtape.

Uncertainty Remains for Other Titles

Conversely, the status of several other games, including Silent Hill: Downfall, Morsels, The Lost Wild, Bounty Star, and the internally developed Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth, remains unclear pending developer statements.

Annapurna Pictures CEO Megan Ellison affirmed a commitment to supporting their partners during this transition. While many developers express optimism, the long-term impact of the mass resignation on the gaming landscape remains to be seen.
