Hey everyone
We’re super excited to share with you that Worms Rumble will be launching on Steam this December!
Worms Rumble is the next instalment in the Worms franchise! For the first time ever in a Worms game you’ll be able to jump into intense, real-time battles with upto 32-players!
You can squad up with friends or fight solo in different game modes from Deathmatch to Last Worm Standing. Worms Rumble will feature a variety of fan-favourite weapons from past games as well as new additions to the franchise for you to get your wormy hands on!
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 mobility items…
Let's take a look at some of the new trailer reveals shall we!
New Mobility Gadgets
Mobility tools play a huge part in any Worms game and today we’re revealing two of these tools that will be available in Worms Rumble for you to swing and soar through the skies with. (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!
Bonus mobility move - Rocket Jumping!
Yes, for the first time ever you’ll be able to rocket jump in Worms (without ending your turn anyway!).
This high risk - high reward technique speaks for itself, so we’ll leave it to you, our brave players, to figure that one out in battle…
Crossplay Open Beta - Starting November 6th!
As existing Worms players you know Worms better than anyone. For that reason we’d love to invite you to try out Worms Rumble absolutely free from November 6th - November 8th in our crossplay open beta.
We know real-time Worms is very different to our turn-based history and that many of you will have questions on how it plays, what it is like and whether your experience with the turn-based classics will carry over to the real-time world. The Worms Rumble beta is the perfect time to have those questions answered, whilst also seeing how we’ve taken what makes Worms, well Worms, and crafted it into a real-time experience.
The Dev Team will be playing during the beta and be closely watching your feedback too, so it’s a brilliant time to share your thoughts directly with the team… And even lob a Banana Bomb at them!
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 keep an eye on the Worms Twitter and Worms Rumble Steam Community page to stay in the loop!
Pre-order & Digital Deluxe Editions
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!
If you’re a fan of the classics and want to rep your favourite weapons then may we introduce you to the Digital Deluxe Edition that includes the following…
Here's a first look at the Retro Commando outfit too!
