Worms W.M.D. Shellshocks Your Switch This Thanksgiving
Team 17 has announced today that Worms W.M.D. is releasing for the Switch on November 23, 2017. I first became a fan of the series way back on the Dreamcast where I soon learned how hilarious and deviously fun it could be to squish your enemies (friends) into submission. Who knew turn-based carnage could be so addictive?
The game will feature local and online multiplayer, but get this – up to 6 can play with just 1-4 controllers. Pass them around if need be! A few other tidbits were answered on Twitter from the development team. The game will weigh in at 4.6 GB and cost $29.99. It will not feature cross-platform support with other systems, but it does support local (and online) wireless multiplayer for those who have friends with a copy of the game on Switch. We’re looking forward to it!
