Résumé
- L'ancienne Annapurna Interactive Staff a repris les opérations de Private Division, un studio détenue auparavant par Take-Two Interactive.
- La majorité du personnel d'Annapurna Interactive a quitté sa société mère en septembre 2024 après que les négociations avec la PDG d'Annapurna Pictures, Megan Ellison, se sont effondrées.
Les anciens étoiles de l'éditeur en difficulté Annapurna Interactive ont conclu un accord pour reprendre les opérations de la division privée, un studio anciennement détenu par Take-Two Interactive. Avant un remaniement brutal en 2024, Annapurna Interactive a été célébrée pour avoir publié des titres acclamés par la critique tels que Stray , Kentucky Route Zero et ce qui reste d'Edith Finch .
La division privée, créée en 2017, a été vendue par sa société mère Take-Two Interactive en novembre 2024. L'acheteur est resté non divulgué initialement, laissant le sort du studio et ses titres existants incertains. Cette vente a conduit à la mise à pied de la majorité du personnel de la division privée, au milieu des fermetures de studio plus larges et des réductions de la main-d'œuvre par Take-Two.
Selon un rapport de Jason Schreier, l'acheteur de la division privée serait la société de capital-investissement basée à Austin, Haveli Investments, qui a un large objectif d'investissement dans les secteurs de la technologie et des jeux. Haveli et l'ancien personnel d'Annapurna auraient conclu un accord pour gérer et distribuer des jeux toujours sous la bannière de la division privée. Il s'agit notamment des contes de sortie de mars 2025 prévus, du programme Kerbal Space de longue date et d'un projet inopiné de Game Freak, du développeur et copropriétaire de Pokémon.
Le remaniement de la division privée continue la tendance précaire de l'industrie
La majorité du personnel d'Annapurna Interactive a quitté sa société mère en septembre 2024 après que les négociations avec la PDG d'Annapurna Pictures, Megan Ellison, se sont effondrées. Alors que l'acquisition par Haveli de la division privée a conservé une vingtaine d'employés, certains de ces employés hérités devraient désormais être mis à pied pour accueillir l'équipe Annapurna entrante. Il n'est pas clair si l'équipe Annapurna prévoit d'adopter une nouvelle propriété intellectuelle ou d'initier de nouveaux projets. Le nom et la mission plus large du studio nouvellement formé n'ont pas encore été divulgués.
La consolidation efficace d'Annapurna et de la division privée reflète les tendances plus larges de l'industrie du jeu, qui a vu des dizaines de milliers de licenciements et de nombreuses fermetures de studio au cours des dernières années. Cette décision, où un groupe d'employés de jeu déplacés en accueille une autre, souligne l'approche dure et sans compromis de l'industrie. Les investisseurs s'éloignent de plus en plus des projets de grande envergure et à grande échelle et les risques qu'ils impliquent.
