Annapurna Interactive's Resignation Raises Concerns for Silent Hill: Townfall and Other Survival Games
Silent Hill: Townfall's Future
The entire staff of videogame publishing division of Annapurna Interactive, also known as Annapurna Games, has reportedly resigned following a dispute with owner Megan Ellison, according to a report by Bloomberg News. This leaves questions over the future of several games yet to be published by the company, including Silent Hill: Townfall, Blade Runner 2033 Labyrinth, Wanderstop, and Lushfoil Photography Sim.
Concerns Over Upcoming Titles
The Silent Hill: Townfall publisher had reportedly been in talks between president Nathan Gary and Ellison, owner and founder of the company, to create a separate games publishing entity. Reports state that Ellison pulled out of the negotiations, leading Gary, other executives, and around two dozen staff members to resign in response. A spokesperson for the company has confirmed this to Bloomberg, which appears to cast doubt over the future of several titles - including the Silent Hill horror game spinoff and the first Blade Runner game developed for PC since 1997.
In a statement given to Bloomberg, Ellison has reaffirmed the commitment to the 14 games currently in development and scheduled for release over the coming years.
