Team17 Digital has announced a new partnership with award-winning development studio, Lichthund. The Warsaw-based studio, which focuses on fresh and quirky game experiences, came to prominence in 2016 with its debut title, the fast-paced lightspear throwing action game, Lichtspeer. The partnership will see Team17 Digital publish the next game from Lichthund, an unannounced and original IP that strongly adheres to both companies’ idiosyncratic heritages, currently in development for PC and consoles.
Michael Pattison, CEO, Team17 Digital, said:
“I and the rest of Team17 Digital are excited to be working with Lichthund on their next title, which promises to be as unique as their debut release. The partnership underlines our continued mission to help exceptional developers deliver the best and most eclectic indie games on the planet, and will strengthen our portfolio of nearly 150 games.”
Rafal Zaremba, CEO, Lichthund, said:
“We are incredibly excited about our collaboration with Team17 on one of our projects. Partnering with a publisher that shares our values and creative vision was very important to us. Together, we are committed to raising the bar in terms of production values and creating a game that will captivate and immerse players in a new and exciting experience. Having poured our hearts and souls into the development process, we can’t wait to talk more about the game.”
