In a fairly exciting case of two major industry stories meeting in the middle, former members of downfallen indie publisher Annapurna Interactive have reportedly joined forces to take control of several game projects previously published by Take-Two Interactive's label Private Division, which has itself been sold off amid layoffs.
The game projects in question include the Kerbal Space Program series and an unannounced project from Pokémon developer Game Freak.
That's from a new Bloomberg article (paywall), helpfully summarised by Game Developer. To give you the backstory here, Annapurna Interactive are a division of fancy-dan auteur-driven media company Annapurna Pictures, known for films like Zero Dark Thirty and American Hustle.
Founded in 2016, the Interactive label are the publishers of such acclaimed smaller game projects as Kentucky Route Zero, Outer Wilds, Sayonara Wild Hearts, and Neon White.
Notwithstanding the critical success of these projects, there have long been tensions between Annapurna Pictures leadership and the gaming division.
