Worms W.M.D news & patch notes

Nutters! 🥜 There will be no ‘Sudden Death’ when the time runs out on the Kickstarter campaign for Worms: The Board Game, having achieved its funding goal faster than a Jet Pack wearing Worm! Worms: The Board Game is a hilarious game of strategy, chance and exploding Sheep! Bring the nostalgia, fun and utter mayhem of Worms to life- right on your tabletop.

🔗 Worms: The Board Game Kickstarter Page

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/18939040/f6c1f9a11c7bcf2194b82c1a758ae4842bed0169.png A lot has happened since the Kickstarter launched, including lots of daily reveals, information about features and surprise additions and here’s a brief overview of some of them! But before we get into this, we want to showcase our latest addition to Worms: The Board Game... Professor Worminkle from Worms 4: Mayhem! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/18939040/22c0d26f46144dfc5f3eac8926b6d9c5b24a98bf.png Alongside this daily reveal, here's more information around Worms: The Board games newest features:

Sound Effects & Timer App

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/18939040/0bd87c4323964b33699163667b32c2f5d7dd7345.png A highly requested item from the community during the Kickstarter as been on incorporating the familiar speech and sound effects from in-game. Well, full details are still be confirmed, but there are now plans to include a range of audio to really bring your tabletop experience to life! To put everything in the same place, plans also include a game-style countdown timer for those who want to play with some added pressure, and the hilarity of watching your opponents make silly mistakes as the seconds tick down...

Closer Look: Sentry Guns

Sentry Guns are a little more complex than most other weapons, so come with the card shown below, a reference card, and tokens for deploying on the map. Represented by a token, Sentry Guns count as a 'Thing' (for the purposes of filling a hex) and are immovable once deployed. If they take damage, they are destroyed. How do they work? Sentry Gun tokens are marked with an arrow, so when deployed they face out of one side of their hex (their facing cannot be changed). If a Thing moves to a hex within the Sentry Gun's line of fire, it is damaged. This is an excellent way of restricting your opponent's ability to position well as they must deal with the Sentry Gun first, or restrict their (safe) movement in the meantime. Just beware that the Sentry Gun doesn't discriminate between friendly and enemy Worms entering its line of fire, so make sure to have a plan before you deploy one! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/18939040/92198fe07be8f2f61ff899f73677944e1bec883a.png

Let's Talk Superweapons

For those of you who don't know, these are rare and powerful weapons that can be used to press home an advantage or turn the tide if your team of Worms are in a desperate situation. They can have a big impact if used well, but expect plenty of laughter from your opponents if you make a bad call and something backfires! These weapon cards have a yellow header so you instantly know you've picked up something special from a crate...now make sure to keep a straight face. There are a good range of these cards, from today's Buffalo of Lies to the Concrete Donkey (Hee-Haw!), the Holy Hand Grenade (Halleluja!), the Priceless Vase...and more. There are enough in the deck to give you plenty of variety, but few enough that you'll get a thrill when you draw one. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/18939040/b2f5db2f7838acd2d64fb87fc611ce8ae522c4ec.png

Timeline

The team want to extend their thanks to the 4,500+ backers to the project so far and are so excited the most iconic of wriggly critters will battle away on tables around the world. The plan is for pledges to be delivered in August 2024 - however, the exact timing may change and there is always the potential for delay with any products produced in China. Backers will be kept updated through the process. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/18939040/6b5857040b796ba2b914782d1a3605214d6db740.png

You can also follow Worms on Twitter to keep up to date with future daily reveals! 🔗 https://twitter.com/WormsTeam17 Today we also have a special Q&A, with the man behind the miniatures of Worms: The Board Game: Luigi Terzi!

Q&A With Our Sculptor: Luigi Terzi

Hi Luigi! Tell us a little about your background in sculpting. I started sculpting 10 years ago, but first started out in graphic design. After working with legendary game designer Alessio Cavatore I asked if he knew anyone searching for an illustrator and a sculptor, and that’s how I came to meet Ronnie and his team at Mantic Games! Through the years I have done work for Warlord Games, Modiphius, Fantasy Flight, Steamforged, Wyrd, & Wizkids. I have also sculpted large-scale models for companies like Sideshow and Figurama. How did you feel when asked to work on Worms? My very first thought was ‘that’s going to be a lot of fun’, and it has been! Are you a fan of the Worms video games? I played them a lot before raising a family. Back then I also loved Wipeout, Tekken and Colin McRae Rally – so maybe you can guess my age from this list! What are the challenges with sculpting these characters? The most difficult thing is making the Worms look like they have paused mid-action! They have to be very expressive. It’s all about combining fun facial expressions with a cool pose that works. Finally, they need to have enough variety so they will look great together on the tabletop. What was the best thing about this project? Having the chance to do something totally different from anything else I’ve worked on! Working with different design styles really helps to keep my creativity fresh. Do you have a favourite worm that you’ve sculpted for the campaign? Do I have to pick just one? I have a few, my top 3 are: the worm with a sheep, the worm with a vase, and (*spoiler alert*) at first place is the disco worm – he looks fantastic! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/18939040/e3e82f0b1c9d98c044a4828ab1a1f23b8bc669e5.png Thanks Luigi – it’s been a pleasure chatting with you, and thanks for all your work on Worms: The Board Game! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/18939040/6b5857040b796ba2b914782d1a3605214d6db740.png

Watch the action packed launch trailer here: Here's some of the action you can expect of Worms Rumble:

3 Modes

Take on the battle royale mode in Last Worm Standing or with 2 friends in the Squads mode. If that's not your cup of tea you can roll into the death match mode and hone your skills whilst respawning straight back into the action if you stand too close to a blossoming banana bomb. https://media.giphy.com/media/xiICMPv9gISXe8cLcH/giphy.gif

32 player transforming maps

As of launch there are 3 maps designed full of funny references, iconic landmarks and strategic areas to get the upper hand on opponents. The maps can also have the chance to transform mid way through the battle with missile launches and even portals opening to shake up the match. https://media.giphy.com/media/W4BYuts2fmQjktoVvP/giphy.gif

Equip a whole host of powerful classic and new weaponry!

Wield classic weaponry from the Worms series, like the devastating holy hand grenade and also equip yourself with completely new guns like the projectile bouncing plasma launcher. https://media.giphy.com/media/ukpf5NU3Knkrjm5poS/giphy.gif

Customise your worm to the max

Don't look like a basic worm... well actually you can but if you want to really get ahead on the worm walkway then there's so many options open to you! Felt like a dinosaur on the outside but on the inside you were worm... don't worry we've got the outfit for that! Plus, match many accessories to get a completely custom look. You will get xp in the matches to unlock new tiers of outfits and customisations to how you are presented in the game! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38203235/9431751ffdbf709119affa4f354e58c8fc644fb4.png

Don't wriggle around the maps

In Worms Rumble, movement is key! Roll around the map to speed up and also scale walls with extra jumps but be careful as you'll need to carefully manage your stamina! Also, find classic equipment to give you an extra edge like the jetpack and utility belt which can take you to the skies! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38203235/b71808fd83c421602b5b43859929000a51938ea1.gif

That's enough talk for now, the time has come to Rumble...

Hey W.M.D Crew, Today we’re incredibly excited to announce that Worms Rumble will be launching on Steam this December! Worms Rumble is the next instalment in the Worms franchise! Launching this December you’ll be able to jump into intense, real-time battles with unto 32-players! You can squad up or fight solo in different game modes from Deathmatch to Last Worm Standing. Worms Rumble will feature a variety of fan-favourite weapons as well as new additions to the franchise! So to celebrate this awesome news we’ve put together a new trailer for you that reveals a new, never before seen level as well as some new items… Let's take a look at some of the new trailer reveals shall we!

Introducing Portal Park

Say “Hello!” to the second map revealed for Worms Rumble, Portal Park! This sprawling map built inside a sports stadium features a mix of wide open spaces and close quarter combat scenarios, challenging players to adapt their fighting styles on the fly, unless they want to eat a Bazooka to the face… The map itself is split into two distinct areas, with the upper area featuring the stadium, a giant map altering portal (more on that at a later date) and a focus on artillery and aerial style combat. The second area, found in the lower half of the map, is built around underground train tracks where players will be CQC weapons to be most effective as you fight train to train and launch ambushes from hidden vents, so make sure you’ve got your shotguns and a spare grenade or two when entering this area! Oh and did we mention that the trains move! Savvy worms will be able to hitch a ride to rapidly cross the width of the map… Just try not to end up on the windscreen though!

New Mobility Gadgets

We’ve seen you asking about what mobility options will be available in Worms Rumble and today we’re pleased to officially reveal two of them! (Yes, for those wondering, there’s more.) As we all know, the ability to move around the map in a quick and stylish fashion is a key Worms feature and that’s no different in Rumble, so let’s take a look at what you’ll be getting to grips with: The Grappling Gun A close cousin of the Ninja Rope, the Grappling Gun rewards skillful worms with unrivaled mobility and speed, allowing you to swiftly navigate through the map, change your momentum and even access hard to reach locations. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38203235/625ea63abe431a54d4cb607cd2a9ee88a4382f3e.gif Worms that become comfortable with this tool will also find many useful applications for the Grappling Gun during a firefight too… The Jetpack The classic Jetpack is back and ready to take your worm to the skies! This tool is perfect for use in open spaces and larger rooms, giving you the ability to rain down destruction from above or fly above the carnage of an enemy Banana Bomb. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38203235/b71808fd83c421602b5b43859929000a51938ea1.gif Perfect for ambushing enemies from above or quickly escaping a losing battle, Jetpack users should be aware that whilst highly mobile they are vulnerable to precision weapons whilst hovering, so unless you’re wanting to visit the respawn screen try and avoid that! Fashion - The True Endgame? Just like its peers, Worms Rumble will be packed full of cosmetics for you to customise your worm and make them unique. Some of these will be available from the start, with lots more being unlocked by just playing the game however you like and progressing through the ranks, using your preferred weapons and completing special challenges. As a special thank you to those that pre-order Worms Rumble here on Steam we’ll also be giving them a unique cosmetic pack known as the ‘New Challenger’ bonus pack! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38203235/32361d7d3396f47ff03342e044dc07f74e458276.png

We'd love to hear when you jumped in on the Worms franchise. Have you played since Worms Armageddon or maybe even before? What's your favourite Worms memory? If you've yet to jump into the series at all, may we recommend you check out the latest game in the series, Worms W.M.D. There's plenty of explosive weaponry in that one!

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32941731/eeebb96f8abf4acd0d979174f1e69dd30e4ef7cd.png Hi everyone As a thank you to all Worms players out there, we're currently offering 75% off on the latest game in the franchise, Worms W.M.D. As long as you own any Worms game on Steam, you'll be able to find a -75% coupon in your Steam Inventory that will be valid for two weeks.

Should you not need the voucher yourself, remember that you're free to give it to a friend (or a stranger) so they too can take to the battlefield - with or against you!

Thank you!

Whether you're new to the franchise or have been with us since the earliest games, we want to take this opportunity to thank you for your support. Worms wouldn't be what it is without you. Thank you! See you on the battlefield!

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32941731/7652de62b4c6b4d19fb973a57e1afc9520fd7348.jpg One of the biggest events in the gaming calendar, The Game Awards, is fast approaching and we’re extremely proud to see that not just one but TWO Team17 releases have been nominated for awards this year! First up, chaotic co-op cooking game Overcooked! 2 has been nominated for Best Family Game, while pinball-Metroidvania Yoku’s Island Express is up for Best Debut Indie Game! It means so much to the hard-working people at the Team17 studio, as well as our Games Label partners at Ghost Town Games and Villa Gorilla to be recognised in these categories, but we’d be over the moon if they won. Maybe we’re biased, but we think they deserve it! How you can help! The Game Awards winners are decided by a mix of independent judges and fan votes, and in the case of Best Debut Indie Game – in which Yoku’s Island Express is running – the category is 100% decided by fans. We want to spread the word about these two great games and encourage more people to play them, and we can’t do it without you! So if you’ve played either of these gems and would like to help out then please head to The Game Awards website and cast your vote! Please note that it is possible to vote once per 24 hours (if you’re feeling super passionate about the awards) and doing so will increase the chances that your game of choice wins. So too will taking advantage of the option to share your choice to social media when prompted to do so. Try the Yoku’s Island Express demo! If you haven’t played Yoku’s Island Express and would like to try it before voting, there’s a free demo available on the Steam page. Why not give it a whirl and find out what all the fuss is about… Thank you all for reading (and hopefully voting). We’ll see you all at The Game Awards on December 6th!
