Yorkshire-based games label Team17 signs deal to grow its reputation in Asia

Team17 has signed a publishing agreement with Tencent Games’ NExT Studios for its adventure, Crown Trick , which is launching on PC and Nintendo Switch later this year.

In a statement, Team17 said: "Following the successful launch of My Time at Portia and Neon Abyss, both of which were developed in China, Team17 is delighted to announce a new partnership with NExT Studios which will see Team17 leveraging its unique blend of commercial and game developer expertise to provide NExT Studios with support to maximise the game’s global appeal outside mainland China."

Crown Trick is set in a maze-like dungeon.

Debbie Bestwick MBE, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are delighted to be building on our successful track record of attracting Chinese game developers to our games label and in Tencent Games’ NExT, we have another high quality partner.

"Our team is very excited to be working on Crown Trick and we look forward to helping to fully leverage our commercial and games developer expertise and continuing to grow the reputation of our games label in Asia.”
