Worms Reloaded releases on August 26th exclusively for the PC and Mac, returning the series to its debut platform! It will be released online-only via Steam, and will hopefully contain a lively online community with which to blow up many Worms.
While the game is heavily based on the Xbox Live Arcade version of Worms 2: Armageddon released last year, the developers promise that the game includes a number of enhancements.
These key features include:
“Worms Reloaded has been a labor of love for the team given the legacy of 2D PC Worms titles such as Worms 2, Worms Armageddon etc. It has been almost 10 years since the last 2D game was released on personal computers”, said Martyn Brown, iconic figure in the world of Worms and Business Development Director at Team17. “In bringing Worms Reloaded to PC, we’ve reintroduced so much of what gamers loved about the good old days, and it’s fitting that it is also the first Worms game we’ve self-published since the early games. We are very much looking forward to supporting the game through the community on Steam as well as our own Facebook page.”
From humble beginnings, the original Worms titles took PC gaming to new levels of popularity and mass appeal. Selling in excess of 25 million copies over its 15 year lifespan, Worms has taken its wholly unique brand of addictive gameplay, hilarious humor and wild weaponry across almost every console possible, and on Thursday 26th August 2010 it will be returning to the format that made it most successful; the personal computer.
Worms fans will be able to pre-order Worms Reloaded on Steam from Thursday July 29th 2010, with bonuses including a 10% discount, 24 hours early access to the game and exclusive in-game items to enhance your chosen team.
