“Annapurna Acquires Its Inaugural Company for Indie Gaming Empire Expansion”
Multimedia entertainment powerhouse Annapurna has marked a significant milestone by acquiring its inaugural company, enriching its Interactive division through the acquisition of South Africa’s esteemed 24 Bit Games — a longstanding collaborator with the indie publishing giant.
24 Bit Games has played a pivotal role in broadening the reach of Annapurna Interactive games, with notable contributions such as bringing the critically acclaimed Neon White to PlayStation, introducing the superb Maquette to Xbox and Switch, and most recently adapting the 2023 indie Game of the Year frontrunner, COCOON, for both PlayStation and Switch. The company has also made significant contributions to titles like Twelve Minutes, Broforce, and A Memoir Blue.
Established in 2012, 24 Bit Games, with a focus on Unity, has not only expanded its portfolio to encompass tool production for both independent and AAA studios but has also diversified its output to include games on mobile, PC, and VR platforms, complementing its console-centric offerings.
