The Wakefield-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Team 17 and London-based (the UK) indie games developer Grassrootz Studio, are today very proud and happy to announce that they have just joined a publishing partnership for their upcoming FPS IP “Wraith“.

“Project Wraith”, an original FPS IP focused on fast-paced infantry-combat and authentic weapon mechanics. This team-up is one that strongly adheres to both companies’ ethos of offering developers an unrestricted means of creating games that above all, are one’s players truly enjoy diving into.

The dedicated team in the UK is infusing passion and creativity into their debut title. FPS enthusiasts, get ready to immerse yourself in the magic they’re creating.”

Dominik Seifert, Game Director, Grassrootz Studio, said: “Teaming up with Team 17 on this Project was a no-brainer for us. Having a publisher with such a good track record of passion and care for the FPS genre has been a blessing. We needed a partner that understands what we are trying to do, and I’m glad to say we found it. It’s been a while since we’ve played an FPS shooter, set in the modern combat landscape that felt just right, and that’s what we aim to offer with Project Wraith.”
