Award-winning independent games label Team17 Digital and esteemed Canadian developer Blackbird Interactive have today announced a publishing partnership to bring Earthless, a brand-new science-fiction, roguelike deck builder, to Steam Early Access in 2024.
Founded in 2010 by Rob Cunningham (CEO), Blackbird Interactive is one of the original creators of the iconic Homeworld franchise and has since forged its reputation with players and critics alike with its iconic and innovative experiences including the acclaimed titles Hardspace: Shipbreaker and Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, and the recently released, Minecraft Legends.

During each voyage, players will also build a deck of unique tactical abilities and manage the crew on board their vessel, making difficult ethical decisions that could directly impact the well-being of their team … and the survival of humanity.
