History
The company was founded as a division of Annapurna Pictures on December 1, 2016 as Annapurna's attempt to expand into the interactive game industry. The company's staff include existing Annapurna executive, producer Neale Hemrajani and technology head James Masi. Annapurna also hired several video game veterans to head the company, including Nathan Gary, Deborah Mars, Hector Sanchez, and Jeff Legaspi, who had worked in Sony Interactive Entertainment and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Jenova Chen also served as the company's advisor. The company aimed to publish games that are "personal, emotional, and original".

On the day of establishment, the company announced several publishing deals it had signed with several independent developers. This includes Gorogoa, What Remains of Edith Finch, an untitled project (later revealed as Wattam) from Keita Takahashi, and an unannounced game (later revealed as Florence) from Ken Wong, the designer of Monument Valley. In 2017, Annapurna announced that it will begin publishing more independent games, including The Artful Escape, Ashen, and Telling Lies.
