Team17 has today announced the return of their most iconic franchise and confirmed two new Worms titles are in development. Currently in production at Absolutely Games (makers of Classified: France ‘44), Worms Galactic Tactics combines, turn-based tactical Worms 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.
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.
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.
