The iconic Team17 announced that they have acquired all the rights and assets of Golf With Your Friends. Based on the given information, the purchase is worth GBP 12 million.
The popular minigolf game was released last year (after spending roughly four years in Early Access), and it was created by an Australian-based outfit Blacklight Interactive. GBP 9 million is paid right away, and the remaining £3 million will be paid over the next year.
Team17 issued a statement, and they've said the move will "further expand both its portfolio and franchise footprint, enabling the Group to increase 1st party IP and ultimately create additional opportunities to extend the lifecycle of the existing game." That applies to "further downloadable content" and "exploring potential sequels and other opportunities" for the franchise.
Golf With Your Friends is available now on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
