Slapstick technique sequence Worms has obtained one thing deliberate for ya this yr. So seize your bats and explosive sheep. You’ll in all probability want them. Team 17 have launched a teaser video asserting that Worms is correctly again because the first time since 2016. “Things are getting real in 2020,” they are saying, although issues nonetheless look fairly cartoon-y to me.
There’s not quite a bit to identify within the teaser immediately. It’s a teaser trailer for what is going to in all probability be one other trailer, actually. The first half of the video is a visit down reminiscence lane with Worms of years previous beginning with Worms and ending on Worms W.M.D. Then your new invertebrate buddy comes crashing into the social gathering, smashing historical past and batting a bomb off-screen. Then a crown explodes. Typical. Is this after we shout “Worms battle royale confirmed?”
Team 17 say “Get ready for Worms like you’ve never played before!” That’s not a lot to go off, except for the obscure indication that the following Worms game is perhaps making some huge departures from earlier games.
Fraser Brown has good issues to say in his Worms W.M.D. review. “Worms W.M.D., it turns out, is a delightful artillery game, and though I miss everything that was introduced in the last two games, the gaps they’ve left behind have been filled with things that suit the basic Worms formula,” he says. Although it ditched a solo marketing campaign, W.M.D. added crafting and automobiles to the arsenal of worms talents. “While Worms W.M.D. might evoke the halcyon days of Armageddon, it’s more than capable of standing on its own as another high point for the series.”
There’s not a lot else to know concerning the subsequent Worms game to this point. Not even its title, I think about. Team 17 may go for the very bland “Worms 2020” however I don’t suspect that’ll be it. Perhaps we will cross our fingers for a correct singleplayer marketing campaign this time round.
For extra on the following Worms game, Team 17 advise you to comply with them on Twitter or Facebook.
