Worms studio Team17 will publish indie sci-fi city builder Aven Colony

The company behind gun-wielding worms is helping another small studio get its game to the world.

Team17 announced today that it will publish the indie game Aven Colony, which has players creating and managing cities on alien planets. It’s yet another example of a long-running indie studio becoming a publisher by taking on another indie project. It will come out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC during the second quarter of 2017. If you buy the game from the PC indie games store Itch.io, you can play Aven Colony’s beta now.
