The former staffers of the independent video-game publisher Annapurna Interactive, who resigned abruptly last summer following an acrimonious power struggle, will be taking over the portfolio of a past rival, which will be laying off some of its employees.
Their new company, which does not yet have a name, will inherit the games and franchises of Private Division, the label formerly owned by Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., according to people familiar with the deal.
