A holy hand-grenade to the formula
When Team17 firstteased a new Worms gamecoming in 2020 they called it “worms like you’ve never played before.” They’ve now officially announcedWorms Rumbleand yeah, it is definitely not your traditional Worms game. I was joking when I said “Worms battle royale confirmed” months ago but, well, here we are. The 32-player Worms action game will host a beta later this month and release in late 2020.
Team17 are definitely taking a swing on this one, but I suppose its up to Worms fans old and new to decide if it’s a hit or miss. Worms Rumble will be ditching typical series features like turn-based combat in favor of fast-paced action. It will have 32-player Deathmatch and Last Worm Standing modes that you can play across platforms with your console pals.
Seems like Team17 are going all-in on the online service game format with in-game currency to unlock worm skins, daily challenges, and seasonal events. On the familiar side, they say you’ll be able to blow up your invertebrate enemies with series staples like the bazooka, shotgun, and holy hand-grenade.
