Going Under Is Going To Hit Consoles And PC In 2020
Video game publisher Team17 has announced a new partnership with Seattle-based indie studio Aggro Crab Games (haha, it’s like that mountain from the Nickelodeon show, only it’s…a crab) to publish their upcoming satirical dungeon crawler Going Under on modern game-playing platforms.
Jackie is an intern who’s clocking in for her first day at carbonated drinks startup Fizzle….only to find the entire location fizzled. The campus building basement is filled with the rejected experiments of all the previous start-ups that have used the building, and now they’re revolting. Jackie’s only hope is to utilize the gadgets and gizmos that failed to catch on as weapons against them.
“We’re thrilled to finally announce our partnership with Team17,” says Caelan Pollock, co-founder of Aggro Cab Games. “Our first game out of college, Treadnauts, was heavily inspired by the Worms franchise, so to have signed with Team17’s games label for our sophomore title is a perfect fit. Going Under is an offbeat and chaotic dungeon crawler that’ll feel extremely relevant in today’s fast-paced, high-tech world, and we’re looking forward to sharing more of the game in the months ahead.”
“The aim of Team17’s games label is to nurture the very best indie developers around the world and help them bring their games to market,” adds Debbie Bestwick of Team17. “Aggro Crab Games immediately caught our eye with Going Under, a satirical take on failed tech startups crossed with dungeon crawler gameplay. We’re excited to start eradicating destructive company cultures and redefining the meaning of boss fights next year!”
Going Under has no release date, but is expected to be completed sometime in 2020.
