Annapurna Interactive, a prominent indie game publisher, is gearing up for an exciting digital showcase event to reveal its upcoming releases. This event marks the company’s return after facing a significant setback when the majority of its staff departed last year amidst internal conflicts over leadership.
Known for its support of top-tier indie game developers, Annapurna has been behind successful titles like What Remains of Edith Finch, Outer Wilds, Cocoon, and Stray. The showcase, scheduled for 5pm UK time on Monday, February 24th, aims to provide a sneak peek into the future projects the company has in store.
The event, set to last 30 minutes, will feature games such as Wanderstop, Skin Deep, Wheel World, Faraway, Lushfoil, To a T, Morsels, and a few surprises, all slated for release in 2025. Among these titles is Wanderstop, the latest creation from Davey Wreden, the mastermind behind The Stanley Parable, who remains determined to see his project through despite the recent challenges faced by Annapurna.
In the wake of the staff exodus, Annapurna expressed its commitment to moving forward and continuing its collaboration with existing development teams. The company received an outpouring of support from both developers and job seekers eager to be part of its unique storytelling mission. The reformed team of former Annapurna employees has also taken on the games and franchises of Private Division, following its sale by Take-Two Interactive, including popular titles like Kerbal Space Program and upcoming projects like Tales of the Shire and a new action-adventure game from Game Freak.
This resurgence demonstrates Annapurna’s resilience and unwavering dedication to the indie gaming community. As the showcase approaches, fans and developers alike are eager to see what innovative experiences the publisher has in store for them. Stay tuned for an exciting glimpse into the future of indie gaming with Annapurna Interactive.
