The debut real-time Worms game is open for pre-orders on Steam right now, with a bonus selection of cosmetic items up for grabs!
Team17 has announced a bumper airdrop of Worms Rumble news, confirming a PlayStation/PC crossplay beta from November 6th and a full release for the strategic real-time action game on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC in December.
The latest installment in the multi-award-winning franchise, Worms Rumble features fast-paced, relentless skirmishes for up to 32 players per match across a variety of modes including Deathmatch and Squads. Pre-orders for Worms Rumble on Steam are now available for $14.99/£10.99/€14.99, providing access to the ‘New Challenger’ pack, featuring a cache of exclusive cosmetic items.
The second map coming to Worms Rumble at launch – Portal Park – has also been revealed. An arena featuring a fantastical portal that can change the environment in dramatic ways, Portal Park also includes underground train tracks that provide rapid transit to other parks of the map. The announcement of Portal Park follows on from the reveal of Missile Mall in the summer, which takes place in a huge, sprawling shopping mall complete with ballistic missile. Fan favorite gadgets, including Grapple Guns and the Jet Pack are also making a return ready for players to traverse the maps and get the edge over the competition.
Access to a plethora of exclusive cosmetic items, including; an outfit, beanie, skin pattern, baseball bat skin, player banner, and challenge title, is now available through pre-orders on Steam. The ‘New Challenger’ bonus pack will provide PC players with the option to further finetune their Worms Rumble look as they fight for victory. Further cosmetic items will be available and unlocked as players progress through the ranks, including different hats and glasses, bringing a wide variety of customization options so each Worm can be fashionably unique in the arena.
Worms Rumble Key Features:
- Real-time, frantic, 32-player action: Worms Rumble makes history as the first game in the series to introduce real-time strategic combat and object destruction
- Get more targets with crossplay matchmaking: Whether on PS4, PS5, or PC, players can battle against players from all other platforms
- Make your Worm its own: No Worms game would be complete without cosmetics and personalisation, ranging from outfits and hats to skins for your worm and weapons they wield
- Lock and load your arsenal: Crates across the maps contain weapons like the Bazooka, Assault Rifle, and Holy Hand Grenade, with Jet Packs and Grapple Guns providing extra movement options
Kevin Carthew, Creative Director, Team17, said:
“Revealing the release timing of Worms Rumble is a very special moment for the development team, and we’re thrilled that it’s only a matter of weeks away. We’re very excited to see players take to the arenas, and it’s fantastic that through the PlayStation 4/PC crossplay open beta next month we can give you a taste of what’s to come in December. It’s even more special considering we’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of the series in days after the beta, with Team17’s own 30th anniversary coming up on the 7th December.”
