About Possibility Space
Possibility Space was a AAA video game development studio founded in 2021 by Jeff Strain and Annie Delisi Strain. Publicly announced in October that year, it operated under Prytania Media and combined a physical operational headquarters in New Orleans with a distributed development team working across North America and Europe.
The studio brought together experienced developers, artists and narrative designers to create original interactive entertainment for PC and console audiences. Its capabilities spanned game and simulation design, gameplay engineering, technical architecture, concept art, visual direction and narrative systems. Intellectual property development and worldbuilding were central to its work, alongside environmental storytelling and the interaction between narrative and game systems.
Its distributed model allowed developers in different locations to collaborate remotely while the New Orleans headquarters provided operational support. This approach formed part of the studio's original organization rather than a later transition from a conventional office model.
Possibility Space developed an unannounced AAA social roleplaying project codenamed Project Vonnegut, described in the research as a community adventure platform. The project was cancelled before its formal public unveiling or release. The studio did not ship a commercial title during its operation.
On April 12, 2024, Possibility Space ceased operations and laid off its entire workforce. Jeff Strain attributed the shutdown to the loss of its publishing relationship following alleged disclosures of confidential project information. That explanation was an account given by its founder. As of the supplied November 2026 research, the studio remained closed.
