The past year has been good for publisher Annapurna Interactive: It’s seen success with developer Ben Esposito’s Neon White, followed by BlueTwelve’s breakout cat game Stray. Annapurna’s now looking forward to what’s coming next, focusing on its slate of upcoming games during its annual Annapurna Interactive Showcase on Thursday.
Over the course of a half-hour, Annapurna Interactive detailed some of its already announced games, like Hindsight and Thirsty Suitors, alongside announcements for new games from the likes of Keita Takahashi and Kentucky Route Zero developer Cardboard Computer.
