Team17 Reveals New WORMS RUMBLE Featuring Real-Time Combat
Worms is a popular gaming franchise where players use ridiculous weapons to destroy each other. Now, a new entry has been revealed called Worms Rumble from Team17. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure how I feel about this entry. It looks great. However, it’s introducing real-time combat into the franchise and will feature a battle royale mode. There is still a deathmatch mode and there is crossplay (the game is launching on PC, PS4, and PS5) which sound great, but one of the charms of Worms was the turn-based combat. Personally, I think I wouldn’t mind so much if the deathmatch mode maintained the turn-based combat, but it sounds like both modes will feature the real-time combat.
Of course, I guess I can see how well it actually works and feels. In fact, you can too. Fans can actually sign up to potentially participate in a closed beta for Worms Rumble on PC. The beta will run from July 15 @12PM BST through July 20 at 8AM BST. In all honesty, I’m excited to see more Worms, I’m not stoked for the new features though. Hopefully, I’ll be proven wrong.
Worms Rumble will launch in full later this year.
