Team 17 responds to Allison Road cancellation

Publisher Team 17 has had its say on the cancellation of Allison Road, although nothing new is revealed in the statement.

After a long consideration between Lilith owner Chris Kesler and ourselves, we have reached a mutual agreement to end our collaboration on publishing Allison Road under Team17’s Games label,” the publisher told VG247.

We love the concept and value Chris talent highly, but sometime things pan out differently than expected as game development and publishing have so many layers of complexity. The whole team here wish all the best to Chris on his current and future projects for which, before being a business partner, we are also a fan.”

Developer Lilith essentially said the same, almost word-for-word, in its statement on the split last week:

After a long consideration between Team17 and ourselves, we have reached a mutual agreement to end our collaboration on publishing Allison Road under Team17’s Games label. Sometimes things pan out differently than expected as game development and publishing have so many layers of complexity…

We’d like to especially thank everyone for their support through-out, it has and will always be appreciated.”
