'Worms Reloaded' now available

From humble beginnings, the original 'Worms' titles took PC gaming to new levels of popularity and mass appeal.

Selling in excess of 25 million copies over its 15-year lifespan, 'Worms' has taken its wholly unique brand of addictive gameplay, hilarious humour and wild weaponry across almost every console possible, and now  it returns to the format that made it most successful: the personal computer.

"'Worms Reloaded' has been a labour of love for the team given the legacy of 2D PC 'Worms' titles such as 'Worms 2', 'Worms Armageddon' etc. It has been almost 10 years since the last 2D game was released on personal computers," said Martyn Brown of Team17.

"In bringing 'Worms Reloaded' to PC, we've reintroduced so much of what gamers loved about the good old days, and it's fitting that it is also the first 'Worms' game we've self-published since the early games. We are very much looking forward to supporting the game through the community on Steam as well as our own Facebook page."
