Team17 Establishes Cover 6 Studios for Collaborative Development on Hell Let Loose

Team17 has launched a new development studio, Cover 6 Studios, to support the creation of one of its flagship titles. Cover 6 Studios will collaborate with Expression Games, the Manchester-based developer behind the strategic World War 2 first-person shooter Hell Let Loose. Initially, the team at Cover 6 will focus on this project, with plans to potentially take on additional titles in the future. The studio aims to work closely with Expression Games to shape the future of the Hell Let Loose franchise, building on the foundation laid by the game's original creator, Black Matter. While specific details about the studio's leadership and team size are not yet available, its LinkedIn profile indicates that it will have between 11 and 50 employees. This announcement follows the recent news that Steve Bell will assume the role of CEO at Team17 starting January 1, 2024, succeeding co-founder Debbie Bestwick.
