Worms Ultimate Mayhem which is being touted by Team 17 to be a ‘high definition reimagining’ of Worms 3D and Worms 4: Mayhem is slated to release later this year. This combination will apparently contain all the content from the previous games, at the same time adding some of its own. The game will be released for PS3 and Xbox 360 through their respective online services and for PC through Steam.
Worms: Ultimate Mayhem will kick in more single player missions, puzzles, customizations and worms than the previous games. Sixty missions, twelve graphical themes and thirty eight weapons are included in the game along with full online play for up to four players. Gamers can also customize their worms in newer ways.
Team 17 Head of Design John Dennis, had to say about the game, “We’ve also taken the opportunity to add high-definition sparkle to the visuals and make a raft of improvements and extra content as suggested by fans of the original titles: from vastly improved camera functionality and voice-acted mission intro sequences, to all-new challenges and multiplayer maps. We’re very proud of the original games, and hope that in delivering this definitive version, fans of the original titles and players new to them will take the time to check out Worms Ultimate Mayhem.”
Worms 3D was first released in 2003 and contained elements which were considerably different from the earlier games in the series. Worms 4: Mayhem for the first time gave gamers the ability to customize their worms with hats, helmets, glasses, facial hair, gloves etc. It was released in 2005.
Worms Ultimate Mayhem is expected to be made available on PSN, Xbox Live and Steam later this year.
