Worms Pinball News

One of the biggest events in the gaming calendar, The Game Awards, is fast approaching and we’re extremely proud to see that not just one but TWO Team17 releases have been nominated for awards this year!

First up, chaotic co-op cooking game Overcooked! 2 has been nominated for Best Family Game, while pinball-Metroidvania Yoku’s Island Express is up for Best Debut Indie Game!

It means so much to the hard-working people at the Team17 studio, as well as our Games Label partners at Ghost Town Games and Villa Gorilla to be recognised in these categories, but we’d be over the moon if they won. Maybe we’re biased, but we think they deserve it!

How you can help!
The Game Awards winners are decided by a mix of independent judges and fan votes, and in the case of Best Debut Indie Game – in which Yoku’s Island Express is running – the category is 100% decided by fans.

We want to spread the word about these two great games and encourage more people to play them, and we can’t do it without you! So if you’ve played either of these gems and would like to help out then please head to The Game Awards website and cast your vote!

Please note that it is possible to vote once per 24 hours (if you’re feeling super passionate about the awards) and doing so will increase the chances that your game of choice wins. So too will taking advantage of the option to share your choice to social media when prompted to do so.

Try the Yoku’s Island Express demo!
If you haven’t played Yoku’s Island Express and would like to try it before voting, there’s a free demo available on the Steam page. Why not give it a whirl and find out what all the fuss is about…

Thank you all for reading (and hopefully voting). We’ll see you all at The Game Awards on December 6th!

Overcooked returns with a brand-new helping of chaotic cooking action! Journey back to the Onion Kingdom and assemble your team of chefs in classic couch co-op or online play for up to four players. Hold onto your aprons… It’s time to save the world again!

Overcooked! 2 comes to Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 7th 2018, and you can pre-order now to get the ‘Too Many Cooks’ pack, which contains FIVE bonus chefs – for free!

So, if a fancy unicorn or a cheeky monkey are your spirit animal chefs, you’ll get them free with your pre-order (along with a calico cat, alien and walrus)!



Interested in pre-ordering Overcooked! 2 and getting some extra chefs before the game’s launch on August 7th? Head to the Steam store page!

Hey pinball fans!

If you've enjoyed playing Worms Pinball then we thought you might like to hear about a brand new pinball title in the works and coming soon to the Team17 Games Label!

This one doesn't star worms but it does feature a dung beetle! Yoku is a postman on an island full of tiny creatures and pushes his ball of (well, you know) around the island, using pinball-like flippers and bumpers to propel about.

Instead of a score-based set of pinball tables, Yoku's Island Express is an open-world adventure where all of the "tables" join together to make a Metroidvania style environment to explore. Here at Team17, we're referring to this blend of genres as "Pinballvania".

Yoku's Island Express is coming to Steam in Q2 2018. To learn more, why not check out the trailer below or head to the official Steam page where you can follow or add to your wishlist to see future announcements.
