Golf With Your Friends 2 will give you another chance to golf with your friends (if applicable)

Hopefully not a requirement.

Team17 has theyā€™re teaming up with Radical Forge to trim the greens for Golf With Your Friends 2, a ą¹Šfollow-up to Team17 and Blacklight Interactiveā€™s 2020 (technically 2016) partyšŸ’« golf game. Itā€™s planned for release in 2025 on PC and console.

Whereā€™s Blacklight Interactive? I dunno. Iā€™ve done some legwork to find out, then I followed-up with Team17ā€™s PR. If I find out, Iā€™ll let you know. It is įƒ¦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 theyā€™ve 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 donā€™t know! Just sā™•peculating 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 youā€™re all teeing off at the same time and trying to brute force your way tšŸ¤”o par. Courses also tend to twist reality in ways that it wasnā€™t supposed to bend.

I never played Golf With Your Friends because I donā€™t meet the requirements outlined in the title. It got lukewarm reception from critics, but everyone Iā€™ve 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 rošŸ’om as them. Or maybe itā€™s just the sort of tą“œhing that is more fun when you arenā€™t taking it too seriously. Speculating again.

Golf With Your Friends 2 šŸŽlooks like more of the same, as far as I can tell. The trailer doesnā€™t really show gameplay; just a short skit followed by a slow pan of a course beneath the logo. Screenshots also just show courses. Weā€™ll have to use our imaginations to visualize balls. It will be starting in Early Access, and is said to be planning a six-month stšŸ’ay 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 ā€œconsolesā€ sometime in 2025.
