The studio is led by Chelsea Hash, known for several titles like Solar Ash and What Remains of Edith Finch. Other team members include technical director Brett Lajzer, senior producer Evan Hembacher, art director Cosimo Galluzzi and environment artist Nate Grove.

Chelsea Hash shared the following statement regarding these recent hiring occurrences:

“We’ve worked closely with the people at Annapurna Interactive for years and this was an exciting next step for us to be able to integrate with the team. We are working toward a special new experience and look forward to revealing more details.”

Annapurna Interactive is publishing the upcoming cat adventure title, Stray, releasing for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam on July 19, 2022.

The newest gameplay trailer highlights how one can interact with the world as a cat, and we’re all here for it. Players will find positive interactions with some of the inhabitants of the world, but that’s not always the case. The goal is to be reunited with family, but there’s a lot to prevail against throughout this adventure. Luckily, cat B-12 has some offensive capabilities.
