A Closer Look at the Environments of Worms WMD

With Worms W.M.D fast approaching to celebrate the franchise's 21st anniversary, Team17 have shown us some more details about the title. We've seen loads of details about the weaponry that will be seen in game, but this time, they've focused on the environments. 

Throughout the game, players will get to take part in turn-based annelid warfare across 6 beautiful themes: Countryside, Downtown, Frontier, Motherland, Rainforest and Orient. The landscapes themselves now feature detailed, completely hand drawn art which showcases one of the new gameplay features: buildings.

Adding buildings gives a new way to play the classic franchises. Players can enter buildings to remain hidden inside the building after the end of their turn. Whilst on their own turn though, the hidden worms can fire a few sneaky shots off through a window or doorway. 

Worms W.M.D will be released on the 23rd August for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. It is currently available to pre-order from the Xbox Games Store, the European PlayStation Store, Steam and GOG.
