    Ooo, that’s an idea I like. What else has Annapurna done?

    Edit: They’ve published Stray, which was amazing. (But it wasn’t their development like I initially thought.) I am cautiously optimistic.

      This may be their first internal development but they are a fantastic game publisher already! They take a lot of chances publishing weirder stuff and it pays off a lot of the time. My favorites are:

      • Outer Wilds
      • Journey
      • Stray
      • What Remains of Edith Finch
      • Donut County
      • Gone Home
      • Kentucky Route Zero

      I kind of look at them as the A24 of games (nevermind that Annapurna Pictures is a thing) where they have excellent taste in choosing what odd features to publish and give a chance despite not creating them themselves. It at least suggests they care about the artistry of the product to a point where I’m expecting that same standard in their first hands-on development.

      The only things Annapurna has made up until now have been exclusivity deals. This is their first game that’s actually theirs.

        Normally I’d be hesitant, but Nightdive’s first game was the System Shock remake and it is pretty dope

          We’ll see what the stuff looks like when it’s close to release.

          Their wiki article lists System Shock as their third original game (I guess do you mean developed solely by them?)

          Also - their release of SS was plagued with delays (like almost a decade) and still released with game breaking bugs.

    I am interested. Annapurna has published some of the most amazing games in the last 5 years and I’d love to see how they handle this themselves. Anything they put their name on is known for its narrative quality and I expect this will be much the same level of that.

    This is very promising! I loved What remains of Edith Finch, Stray and Outer Wilds. Excited to see what they are doing with Blade Runner

    Oh, I’m very excited for this. A dark sci-fi investigative game would be absolutely amazinig. Blade Runner, in my opinion, is an uptapped well.

    HELL yes. I’ve posted at least twice about the old Blade Runner PC game just since joining kbin/lemmy, so this is exciting. One of my favorites.
