Hey everyone!

Worms Rumble has just landed here on Steam and is available to purchase, download and play! Don your jet pack and thrust yourself into the first ever real time Worms game! Take on epic 32 player battle royale or deathmatch modes right now! Plus get into the action quickly with matches with crossplay with other platforms.

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.



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.



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.



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!



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!



Come up with unique ways to play and gain the edge

Come up with unique tactics to gain the edge on your enemies whether that be returning a foes rocket with your baseball bat or shielding a teammate to be revived and become the 'Last Worm Standing'



Join the action now:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1186040/Worms_Rumble/

This is just the beginning!

We hope everyone has an amazing time jetpacking, grappling or rolling around the map and blasting foes to become the last worm standing! This is only the beginning for Worms Rumble! New content, events, customisations and much more are planned for the game with regular updates planned.

Right! That's enough talk for now, the time has come to Rumble...
Worms Reloaded

Fans of blasting flippant annelids off fractured landmasses or unceremoniously prodding them into the murky depths will want to check out the brand new bundle that's now live over at Humble, as it features 20 Worms games, DLC and more for next to no money.

As usual, it's a multi-tier affair, the cheapest of which starts at just 77p. In this, you'll get the OG Worms, Puzzle Bobble style spin-off Worms Blast, Worms Crazy Golf and Worms Pinball. The latter two I had no idea existed until I saw this!

Many more iterations of Team 17's irreverent and long-running multiplayer battler can be found in the later tiers too, including Worms Reloaded, Worms Revolution and Worms W.M.D.

Worms W.M.D - Jonno
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.



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.



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!




Crossplay Open Beta - Starting November 6th!

Get stuck into Worms Rumble ahead of launch with our crossplay open beta starting on November 6th!

With no sign-up required you’ll be able to jump straight into the action alone or with friends as you clash with players both here on Steam and on console.

We’ll be revealing more about the beta over the coming weeks, so watch this space!
