It’s the near future, and humanity has wrecked the planet. Four influential corporations have created the Genesis Program in order to save our species from extinction.

You are the captain of a Genesis starship sent to uncharted space on a mission to find new homes for humanity’s DNA. Among your responsibilities: build and manage a ship, harvest resources, confront terrifying alien infestations, clone creatures, splice alien DNA with that of your crew to create new lifeforms and explore a vast, randomly-generated universe.

Your choices will determine what humanity becomes and where it will make a new home.

Sascha Jungnickel, Creative Director, Radiation Blue: We are very excited to work with Team17 on Genesis Alpha One. We highly appreciate Team17’s passion for games, their transparent developer friendly procedures and of course their exciting portfolio, that we’re now a part of! When we were kids, we enjoyed playing Team17 games such as Alien Breed and Worms. These creative and artistic experiences helped support our decisions to become video games creators. Today, with this partnership, things have come full circle which is incredibly exciting.
