I know that it´s hard to believe that Team 17 has been around for 25 years, but it´s true. As the studio opened up its doors back in December 1990 (on the 7th of December to be exact). Anyhow, Team 17 is preparing to celebrate its 25th birthday on the 7th of December. And that means tons of fun for everyone.
A wild scene unfolded last night as long-time gaming site The Escapist fired some of its team members, including EIC Nick Calandra, for reportedly not meeting goals set by its parent company Gamurs.
RIP Zero Punctuation🥺😢 I hope all the video department employees that left the best of luck and hope they start a new site of their own.
Many of them have already started working on a new platform for content called "Second Wind". So we can expect good things for sure!

Eurogamer: "Team17 has now confirmed it has begun "a period of consultation" ahead of the restructure reported by Eurogamer this morning, in which significant job losses are expected."
Worms 2 was a blessing when I was on 56k dialup in 1999 for multiplayer gaming, it was almost the only game I could play smoothly online due to it being turn based. Not only that but it was a fun game to play with all the customisation options, online rope races etc..
"1000 Orks, and Team17 Digital have announced a partnership that will see the award-winning games label publish the German studio’s debut title, "WARCANA" (previously Legion Souls). Set for release on PC during the first half of 2024," - Team 17 and 1000 Orks
Should have done Worms 5 to celebrate
Worms was a blast.. thanks for this article, i actually forgot all about this legendary series.
They made some great Amiga games back in the 90s.

I do remember Super Stardust, my friend and I used to play it a lot at the time =) Nice ;)
The Alien Breed Trilogy was awesome. If you haven't played it -it's a really dynamic isometric space shooter with fantastic graphics and remains one of my favourite games of all time. Happy 25th Team 17! Please give me more Alien Breed.
