Stray, the much-loved cat adventure from developer BlueTwelve Studio and publisher Annapurna Interactive is being turned into an animated movie by Annapurna Pictures’ animation arm – which produced DNEG Animation’s recently released Nimona.
Stray – which launched last summer on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC – deposits players in a dystopian sci-fi metropolis for some exploration, adventure, and mystery, as its four-legged protagonist searches, with a little help from their robot companuon B12, for a way home.
News of Stray’s animated adaptation comes via Entertainment Weekly, and while specifics are limited at this seemingly early juncture, there’s a least a of hint at what Annapurna Animation will be trying to achieve in its “respectful” adaptation.
