Team Deathmatch
Take up the call of team based total Wormfare with the new Team Deathmatch mode! Be assigned to red or blue team in a battle to rack up the most kills and find yourself in 12v12 arena based controlled chaos. This game mode was highly requested in the community and we were eager to get it in. We've also changed the maps to be smaller based on community feedback from an open beta on the mode, expect to see storms at the edges of maps from the 32 player mode!
It's time to hop into the action and fight for your teams victory!
Double XP Weekend
To celebrate the launch of the new mode and update, we are starting the first double XP weekend starting today at 3PM GMT through to Monday 3PM GMT. Hop in game for double the xp gain and get rewarded with cosmetics to make your Worm look the best they can be. There's never been a better time to rumble!
Fixes
Again, we have been listening closely to everyone's feedback and some of the issues you have faced. We have made a few fixes and improvements that should help make many of your game experiences better!
