Stray, the hit Annapurna Interactive game starring a cat, is getting a “feature adaptation” from Annapurna Animation, according to a press release. Annapurna didn’t share much else about the movie — we still don’t know when it might come out or what it might look like — but if you were a fan of the game and looking for another way to experience the game’s universe, now you can look forward to this upcoming film.

In the press release, Annapurna also said that it plans to adapt more Annapurna Interactive titles in the future, though it didn’t specify which games might be turned into movies or shows.

Annapurna Animation recently released Nimona, which is godly to look at.

Hopefully they will perform as well with this one.

Wait, I’m so out of the loop.

Nimona, like…the comic I used to read on Tumblr years ago? THAT Nimona????

Yep, it's on Netflix.

Development began at Blue Sky before it got shut down by Disney, and was passed to Annapurna.

There are a few changes from the comic, but it's overall very fun, and the graphics and animations are godly.

I downloaded that movie on a whim for a long flight to Australia and it was surprisingly solid. I didn't know the source material and assumed it was a original concept. Annapurna's games are usually top tier so hopefully their movies will be as well.
