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

Annapurna Interactive's recent mass staff resignation sparked concerns about the future of its projects. However, several high-profile games appear unaffected.

Control 2, Wanderstop, and More Remain on Track

Following the mass resignation, developers reassured fans about the status of their games. Remedy Entertainment confirmed that their self-published Control 2 (along with Alan Wake and Control AV rights) remains unaffected by the situation, as their agreement is with Annapurna Pictures, not Annapurna Interactive. Davey Wreden and Team Ivy Road similarly confirmed that Wanderstop is progressing without interruption. Matt Newell's Lushfoil Photography Sim, nearing completion, also seems unaffected, though the team expressed gratitude for their collaboration with Annapurna Interactive. Beethoven & Dinosaur similarly confirmed ongoing development of Mixtape.

Conversely, uncertainty surrounds several other titles, including Silent Hill: Downfall, Morsels, The Lost Wild, Bounty Star, and the internally developed Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth, with developers yet to provide updates.

Annapurna Pictures CEO Megan Ellison affirmed their commitment to supporting developers amidst the transition. While the future of some projects remains unclear, many developers have expressed confidence in the continued development of their games.
