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.

    I’m curious what the movie would contain that the game didn’t. The game was very linear and almost played like a movie itself. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a cat movie! Just curious how it will differ from the game.

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

    Hopefully they will perform as well with this one.

    I absolutely adore that game, but in all honesty I’m not sure I want a straight adaption. When I finished the game I was left feeling like wanted more beyond the game, I want to see more of the world and lore that the writers built.

    Good luck with audience recognition when “Strays” literally released on digital platforms today

    Annapurna? I love their games! Stray is awesome, I gotta back and finish it.

    Do Journey next! That game is a fuckin trip, man. I’d love to see if they can transfer that magic to the big screen.

      I second the vote for Journey next. My only concern is that most people probably wouldn’t be into it because there would be zero dialog.

    What’s with all these games being turned into movies.

    At least this makes more sense than Vampire Survivors
