(Alliance News) - Team17 Group PLC on Wednesday said The Survivalists game will launch in 2020.
The video games developer said the survival-lite sandbox game will launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
The Survivalists sees players shipwrecked on procedurally-generated islands and combines the crafting, combat and building elements of The Escapists, a strategy game released in 2015.
In addition to single-player mode, the game will also feature a session-based, online co-operative multiplayer element, Team17 said.
"We were delighted to announce The Survivalists via our friends at Nintendo last night, and to expand The Escapists' universe. Building on existing franchises is an important growth pillar for Team17 and, more importantly, reflects the skill, dedication and creativity of our team," said Chief Executive Debbie Bestwick.
Team17 shares were trading 4.5% higher in London on Wednesday at 322.75 pence each.
