In Main Assembly take on the role of a drone with the ability to design and build robots for your everyday needs! Create unique ways to overcome various challenges in single-player or jump into the Sandbox where you can craft and play alone or with other players. Challenge yourself and your friends to create the most exciting looking robot using a freeform crafting tool and modular parts, and then control them through powerful visual programming.

You can also customize your robots by changing the colour palette and drone cosmetic accessories for that personal touch. 

Team17 has announced a new partnership with Bad Yolk Games to support the development of – and publish – the Swedish studio’s debut title, Main Assembly.

“We’ve been working on Main Assembly for the past two years, and as we rapidly approach its launch window we’re thrilled to sign with such a respected developer and publisher as Team17. We know that there is growing anticipation for Main Assembly among the Steam community, they are eager to get tinkering with the deep crafting tools the game provides, and we cannot wait to see what they construct when Main Assembly arrives on PC in Q2 2020,” said Bad Yolk Games CEO Michael Paixao.

“Although Main Assembly is Bad Yolk’s debut title, there’s little that its developers have to prove. Their track record of working on some of the biggest AAA brands in gaming underpins their skills and determination to produce an innovative and creative experience for expectant Main Assembly players. One of the core pillars of gaming is the creativity that some games give to their communities, and with Bad Yolk and Main Assembly I think we’ve found a studio and game that will take the imagination of its players to new heights,” commented Team17 Head of Publishing Max Everingham.

Signups are now being taken for a limited closed beta, with keys set to be distributed on Monday.

Main Assembly key features:

• Freeform crafting: Construct any robot or contraption you can imagine – with no constraints!
