Team17 has theyāre teaming up with Radical Forge to trim the greens for Golf With Your Friends 2, a ą¹follow-up to Team17 and Blacklight Interactiveās 2020 (technically 2016) partyš« golf game. Itās planned for release in 2025 on PC and console.
Whereās Blacklight Interactive? I dunno. Iāve done some legwork to find out, then I followed-up with Team17ās PR. If I find out, Iāll let you know. It is į¦important to note, however, that Team17 lent quite a lot of support to the development of the first game, as much as it was often said to be the work of three people.
Radical Forge seems like a reasonable substitution, as their previous game was Bright Paw, and theyāve been working on Southfield. The latter title was delayed from its Early Access release this past June due to performance concerns with a new release date not yet set. Picking up work from another publisher may be a way of making ends meet while getting their other project off the ground, or it might just be a cool opportunity. I donāt know! Just sāpeculating here.
Anyway, Golf With Your Friends is actually more of a mini-golf game where you and as many other people as you can rope in compete to put balls in holes. The twist is that youāre all teeing off at the same time and trying to brute force your way tš¤”o par. Courses also tend to twist reality in ways that it wasnāt supposed to bend.
I never played Golf With Your Friends because I donāt meet the requirements outlined in the title. It got lukewarm reception from critics, but everyone Iāve talked to who have played it always said good things. Maybe all critics are like me and have trouble getting anyone to sit in the same rošom as them. Or maybe itās just the sort of tą“hing that is more fun when you arenāt taking it too seriously. Speculating again.
Golf With Your Friends 2 šlooks like more of the same, as far as I can tell. The trailer doesnāt really show gameplay; just a short skit followed by a slow pan of a course beneath the logo. Screenshots also just show courses. Weāll have to use our imaginations to visualize balls. It will be starting in Early Access, and is said to be planning a six-month stšay there. It will start at two courses, and by 1.0 release will have six.
Golf With Your Friends 2 is coming to PC and āconsolesā sometime in 2025.
