Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Twelve Minutes(formerly12 Minutesbut changed, presumably because numeral digits are passé) will not launch in 2020 as once expected. Time is a flat circle in bothTwelve Minutesand life, so it’s perfectly apropos that we have one more delay before the year’s out.
This is one-third of the Annapurna delays that were announced today.Twelve Minutes,The Artful Escape, andLast Stopare all now scheduled for 2021. The publisher says they’re all close to done, and “it’s pretty much polishing at this point.”
they’ve all come together throughout the year and it’s pretty much polishing at this point! make sure to follow@12minutesgame,@VariableState, and@TheArtfulEscapetoo

Twelve Minuteshas been one that I’ve had my eye on ever since it was announced at E3 2019 and I got to write the headlineGroundhog Day+ family tragedy =12 Minutes. Later at the show,Darren went hands-on with itand made it sound even better. Then came therevelationa few months ago that James McAvoy, Willem Dafoe, and Daisy Ridley signed on as voice actors. How good does that all sound?!
Annapurna has a pretty sterling record when it comes to signing talent who can execute on their unique creative visions. Even though I’ve spent most of the year aggressively wantingTwelve Minutes, I’m fine waiting a little longer. But, like, closer to 12 minutes longer than 12 months longer. Deal?
