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

Annapurna Interactive's mass resignation leaves some game projects unaffected. While the recent exodus of staff at Annapurna Interactive caused uncertainty, several high-profile games appear to be continuing development without interruption.

Control 2, Wanderstop, and Others Remain on Track

Following the mass resignation, developers reassured fans about the status of their games. Remedy Entertainment confirmed that their deal for Control 2, including related rights, is with Annapurna Pictures, and that Remedy is self-publishing, ensuring continued development. Davey Wreden and Team Ivy Road similarly confirmed that Wanderstop remains on schedule. Matt Newell's Lushfoil Photography Sim, nearing completion, also appears unaffected. Beethoven & Dinosaur also stated that Mixtape development continues.

However, uncertainty surrounds other titles. No Code's Silent Hill: Downfall, Furcula's Morsels, Great Ape Games' The Lost Wild, Dinogod's Bounty Star, and Annapurna Interactive's internally developed Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth currently lack developer updates regarding the impact of the resignations.

The situation highlights the impact of the mass resignation, with Annapurna Pictures CEO Megan Ellison affirming a commitment to supporting developers.
