The Wacky Wattam Returns Courtesy of Annapurna Interactive

Sony Santa Monica’s indie publishing arm has handed off another title to Annapurna Interactive – this time it’s Funomena’s wacky Wattam. Last seen in 2015, many had feared that the Keita Takahashi creation had been cancelled, but instead it’s simply switched publishers and been awarded a 2018 release window.

For those of you who don’t know, the game sees you assume the role of a mayor whose objective is to create colourful explosions in order to attract more people to his town – or something like that. It’s looked brilliant since day one, and we’re glad to learn that it’s alive and well, but it’s a shame to see quirky projects like this removed from Sony’s portfolio.
