アンナプルナ・ピクチャーズのビデオゲーム部門であるアンナプルナ・インタラクティブチーム全体が、ミーガン・エリソンとの論争を受けて辞任した。 この大量流出により、出版社の将来は不透明となっています。

アンナプルナ・インタラクティブ、交渉失敗でスタッフの流出に直面
Stray や What Remains of Edith Finch などの高い評価を得ているタイトルの出版社は、スタッフ全員を失いました。 アンナプルナ・インタラクティブを独立した事業体として設立するための従業員と親会社アンナプルナ・ピクチャーズの交渉は失敗に終わり、前社長のネイサン・ゲイリー氏を含む辞任につながったと伝えられている。

ブルームバーグによると、チームメンバー25人全員が一斉に辞任した。 チームは、決定の難しい性質を強調する声明を発表した。

アンナプルナ・ピクチャーズは、パートナーに対し、進行中のプロジェクトは今後もサポートを受け続けること、そして同社は引き続きインタラクティブ・エンターテイメントに注力することを保証します。 Megan Ellison は、さまざまなメディアにわたってリニアでインタラクティブなストーリーテリングを統合する意向を述べました。
アンナプルナと提携しているインディーズ開発者への影響は大きく、彼らは契約の状況についての説明を求めています。 Control 2 の一部が Annapurna Interactive によって資金提供されている Remedy Entertainment は、Annapurna Pictures との契約であり、Control 2 を自費出版していることを明らかにしました。

共同創設者のヘクター・サンチェス氏が新社長に任命され、契約は遵守され、スタッフは交代することをパートナーに保証したと伝えられている。 これは、デボラ・マーズとネイサン・ベラの退任を含む最近の組織再編発表に続くものである。 既存のプロジェクトに対する同社の取り組みはまだ明らかになっていません。

A gentle yet powerful support unit with abilities that boost team synergy and restore energy through emotional resonance.
Her passive skill strengthens allies based on their current health and morale, making her ideal for long story campaigns and cooperative challenges.
🎮 New Gameplay Additions:
Echo Mechanic: Players can now replay past story sequences in "Echo Mode" to uncover alternate outcomes and hidden dialogue.
New Arena Mode – "Chrono Abyss": A rotating challenge dungeon that features time-bending environments and enemy patterns that shift every 10 minutes.
Enhanced Customization: New visual skins, aura effects, and voice lines for existing characters, including exclusive options for Aeon and Lyra.

The highly anticipated crossover between Sword of Convallaria and Delicious in Dungeon has officially kicked off with a thrilling month-long event, bringing together fans of both beloved franchises in a unique fusion of fantasy adventure and dungeon delving cuisine.
🌟 Event Highlights:
Themed Dungeons: Players can now enter specially designed "Culinary Catacombs" inspired by the whimsical yet perilous depths of Delicious in Dungeon. These dungeons feature monster recipes, edible enemies, and hidden ingredients that unlock exclusive crafting recipes.
New Characters: Introducing Sylphine, a hero from Sword of Convallaria reimagined as a dungeon chef, wielding her enchanted blade not to slay, but to "season" foes with magical spices. Meanwhile, Ludwig, the beloved chef from Delicious in Dungeon, joins the Sword of Convallaria world as a temporary ally, offering potions and battle-guiding tips based on his culinary wisdom.
Recipe-Based Combat: A new gameplay mechanic allows players to combine ingredients found in dungeons to create powerful "flavor-enhanced" abilities—such as Searing Saffron Strike or Mushroom Cloud Barrage—adding a delicious twist to traditional combat.
Exclusive Rewards: Complete daily quests, defeat themed bosses like the Goblin Gourmet King, and collect rare "Spice of the Realm" items to unlock limited-time skins, mounts (including the Custard-Covered Wyvern), and a special Sword of Baking Light.
Collaborative Story Arc: A serialized story mode explores how the two worlds collide—when a magical rift accidentally opens between the mythical realm of Convallaria and the cursed dungeon of Delicious in Dungeon. The fate of both worlds rests on balancing flavor, fury, and friendship.
🍲 Why Fans Are Raving:
The crossover has been praised for its clever fusion of Sword of Convallaria's epic fantasy storytelling and Delicious in Dungeon's unique blend of dungeon crawling and gourmet fantasy. Fans are particularly excited about the "taste-based" battle system, which turns combat into a flavorful experience—both literally and figuratively.
