The English publisher and developer Team17 bought the “rights and assets” for chaotic golf simulator Golf with your friends for £ 12 million, according to a report by GamesIndustry.biz.
Golf with your friends is a long-star title that was released during early access during 2016, but is still played and streamed regularly. The game was officially released in May 2020. Just like the title says, players are taking on an exciting golf game. The complication is that each track is designed by someone who wants the players to suffer. Additional mods can make the game even wilder, including changes like the golf ball becoming a golf course. The success of the game comes from this chaos; as soon as players get past the saccharine surface, they find a hilarious but frightening golf torture marathon.
“Over the past two years, GWYF has shown strong consumer demand and a large market demand, doubling its ownership base and achieving success across multiple gaming platforms,” Team17 CEO Debbie Bestwick said in a news release, according to GamesIndustry.biz. “GWYF is the type of IP that we believe is right for ownership; it is successful and proven, but is still at the beginning of its journey. The team at Blacklight Interactive can be assured that we will take good care of this amazing IP. ”
