Team17 Launches New Update for WORMS ARMAGEDDON
The first Worms game released in 1995, and to celebrate 35 years this November, Team17 has released a new update for the 21-year-old Worms Armageddon. The version 3.8 update comes from fans and includes features like CPU-controlled teams in online matches, the ability to affect the game’s physics, improved compatibility with Windows 10 and Linux, and “Mapshot” which will allow you to play games on maps already decimated by previous battles. This looks fantastic!
Kevin Carthew of Team17 released the following statement:
I’m thankful to have been able to play some part in the Worms story over the past twenty years. Worms: Armageddon was among the first games I worked on; it’s incredible that members of the community are still delivering updates for it, and is a sure sign of its quality and the love that fans have for it. We’re currently writing the next chapter of the Worms story with Worms Rumble, and its beta test is currently underway. Tens of thousands of players have signed up to experience a fresh take on the series, and we’re receiving invaluable feedback that will help us deliver a great game.
Nick Gomersall of Team17 added:
Worms has been a part of my life, and the part of the lives of millions of gamers, for a quarter of a century, and it continues to go from strength to strength. The series forms the backbone of my career at Team17, and the evolution of the Worms design throughout the last 25 years really stands out – everybody has their Worm.
Fans can enjoy Worms Armageddon on PC and Linux machines via Steam now.
