Team 17 are celebrating 100 games with Planet Alpha


When Team 17 release Planet Alpha to PlayStation 4, Switch, PC and Xbox One on September 4th, it will mark their 100th title released, which is a little crazy. Celebrating this, they have released a wicked video that shows off a few of the games from over the years that they have helped bring to market and a new trailer for Planet Alpha.



“The 100th game marks an incredible milestone for Team17 as we move closer towards our 30th year in this diverse and creative industry. Team17 started life as an indie publisher in 1990; the release of PLANET ALPHA in 2018 is a poignant moment for us all in that we have come full circle in bringing our expertise, perspective and values from our time as an independent developer to games publishing in this exciting modern era of indie games,” said Debbie Bestwick MBE, CEO of Team17. “I’d like to pay tribute to employees of Team17, both past and present, as we celebrate the release of a multitude of titles across many game systems from 16-bit and beyond and in countries far and wide. I’m appreciative, humbled and honoured to work with talented developers in bringing their wonderful creations to fans everywhere. We’re just as passionate and excited for the next 100 games!” 

Of course, the 100th game is Planet Alpha and the new trailer is below, having played it at E3, I can't wait for it to release.



In a few years, Team 17 will also celebrate 30 years in the games industry, hopefully they celebrate with cake.
