It has been announced that Team17, developer of te Worms and Overcooked games, and Publisher of My Time at Portia and Blasphemous, will publish Thymesia in 2021. The game is being developed by OverBoard Studio, a seven-person team in Taiwan, who shared some gameplay of the game way back in 2018. This is good news for Thymesia, which will surely get a lot of buzz via Team17.
The game is a grueling action-RPG with fast-paced combat and an intricate plague weapon system. Your snotty internet person next door will call it "another Souls-like faded to Doom". I know the appeal of Souls-like/Soulborne games, but can't we skip the comparisons for once?
OverBorder studio game director, Moon Lee, shared his thoughts about the news: The amount of enthusiasm from the community has been incredible and we're happy to be working with Team17 on Thymesia. Their support has been instrumental in the game's development, and we can't wait to share the challenging world we've created with players later this year.
Craig McCarthy, Producer, Team17, said:
Thymesia is a unique title for Team17, and we're dead excited to be working with OverBorder Studio on this dark and gloomy title. We're confident that players are going to enjoy exploring the world and testing their combat skills as Corvus, challenging themselves against the monstrous foes that await.
Team17 was kind enough to share an overview of the game and its features:
