Worms WMD Growing into a Physical Copy
UK – May 11th, in the year of our Lord 2016
– Award-winning veteran games developer and international games
label Team17 has today announced that it will be bringing its
forthcoming Worms W.M.D to boxed retail with distribution
partner Sold Out.
Coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC later this year, Worms
W.M.D features a fresh, new look, 2D cartoon-inspired worm, as
well as gorgeous hand drawn landscapes.
For the first time ever, players will be able to use exciting
new vehicles and even enter buildings, which adds new strategic
elements of gameplay to the traditional wormy warfare.
Take to the skies and rain down bullets on the worms below using
the helicopter, or traverse across the landscape in
warfare-ready tanks, which will help you get around faster,
protect your worms, and fire a barrage of shots.
Worms W.M.D offers a solid and extensive single player mode with
training, campaign and challenge modes. Once you’ve conquered
the single player modes, you can compete in crazy multiplayer
with local couch co-op and online modes supporting up to 6
players with up to 8 worms each!
CEO of Team17, Debbie Bestwick, said, “After recently
celebrating Team17’s 25th anniversary, 2016 marks 21 years for
the Worms franchise. Besides making lots of us feel old, we
listened to our loyal fans to create what we believe is the
definitive Worms experience in W.M.D. Fans will now also be able
to pick the game up in boxed form from retailers around the
globe”.
“Sold Out has helped Team17 successfully place multiple versions
of Worms onto store shelves, and it’s a pleasure to be taking on
similar duties with Worms W.M.D. We think long-term fans of the
Worms series will appreciate an engine that maximises the fun of
Worms classic physics and gameplay. Team17 has truly captured
the essence of fantastic titles like Worms World Party and Worms
Armageddon to deliver what will be the best-selling version of
the Worms experience to date,” added Garry Williams, CEO of Sold
Out
Worms W.M.D will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC
later this year.
