Worms Creator Could Become the UK’s Biggest Publisher


Share.

The UK developer and publisher has big things planned for 2018.

Team17, the UK studio behind the Worms series, The Escapists, and Overcooked, is reportedly planning a stock market listing of £200 million.

The Times reports that the studio and publisher has stockbrokers working on the float, with the announcement expected imminently.

Publishers are in short supply in the UK – if the listing goes through, it would likely make Team17 the country’s largest.

Lloyds Development Capital, part of the Lloyds Banking Group, paid £16.5 million for a stake in the company in 2016. The same year, Team17 reported a loss after tax of £37,686 after generating £6.5m in revenue.

The most recent titles announced from the studio for 2018 include Planet Alpha, a platforming title for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch as well as side scrolling beat ’em up Raging Justice.
