Team 17

Team17 is a British game company that started in 1990, born from a merger between a UK publisher and a Swedish development team. In the early days, it made a name for itself on the Amiga computer, developing slick, polished games when that platform was at its peak. Its breakout hit came in 1995 with Worms, a quirky, turn-based strategy game where cartoon worms wage war with bazookas and banana bombs.

Through the 2000s, Team17 leaned heavily on Worms, releasing multiple sequels and spin-offs across various platforms.

In the 2010s. Team17 began publishing games made by independent studios, using its experience and resources to help small developers bring their titles to market. This change brought hits like The Escapists, Overcooked, and Blasphemous under its banner, showing that the studio could adapt and thrive in a changing industry.
