Stray, the cat adventure that was named the most successful indie game of 2022 at The Game Awards last year, is set to come to the big screen. The game’s developer company has announced plans to create an animated movie based on Stray.

When will the Stray animated movie be released?

Cyberpunk-themed Stray, which debuted in the summer of last year, is back on the agenda with a new animated movie. Annapurna Animation has announced plans to bring the popular video game to the big screen. The movie will star the cat and the B-12 robot that accompanies him throughout the game.

Confirmed by Annapurna Animation director Robert Baird, the movie will deal with the fun events that the cat and B-12 go through. In fact, according to Baird, it will be the best “hopepunk movie” ever. For those who don’t know, the term hopepunk means “optimism as a form of resistance”.

Baird confirmed that the movie is in active development, but details about the team are still under wraps. This also indicates that the animated movie is still in its early stages. It is thought unlikely to be released until 2024.

It’s important to note that Annapurna has had a lot of success with the animated film Nimona, which was previously released on Netflix. It is unclear whether Stray will be available in theaters or on a digital platform like Netflix.

Robert Baird also said that they want to consider more games as animation projects. The publisher’s catalog includes acclaimed productions such as 12 Minutes, Outer Wilds and Kentucky Route Zero.
