Team17 and Absolutely Games have announced that two new Worms games are in development. Currently in production at Absolutely Games, Worms Galactic Tactics combines turn-based tactical gameplay, destructible terrain, and a chaotic array of weaponry with a 3D roguelike experience, as the animated annelids strive to overcome the hedonistic intergalactic ruler, Emperor Flugg. Coming to PC and consoles in 2027, Worms Galactic Tactics is set during the Galactic Gauntlet held in honour of the egotistical Emperor Flugg himself. Players will develop their three-worm squad, each with a unique loadout of over-the-top weaponry, including exploding sheep, Cosmic Donkeys, and holy hand grenades, and battle through the gauntlet.
As players battle against their ruthless opponents, they’ll acquire new offensive and defensive mods for their weapons and utilities, helping them in the next wave of skirmishes, clashes, and kerfuffles. From the common-as-dirt Power Stripper mod that makes critical hits shred enemy armour, to the Hot Rocket that lights the terrain on fire, mods provide depth to the replayable runs of Galactic Tactics’ roguelike experience, and are essential to defeating Flugg. While remaining unmistakably Worms with its slapstick action and explosive destruction, the game’s addition of roguelike runs, weapon mods, and permanent upgrades adds a new layer of tactical depth and replayability for newcomers to the brand as well as veterans of yesteryear.
A second title, simply called Worms, is also in development at Absolutely Games, and will bring an updated take on the classic experience gamers have enjoyed for more than 30 years. Further information on Worms will be released in the future. These announcements come quickly on the back of a new edition of the award-winning board game, released to continue the celebrations of 30 years of Worms.
