"Worms 3D illustrates how proven brands can evolve over time and reap the benefits from the latest hardware platforms," said Rod Cousens, Chief Executive Officer of Acclaim. "We're pleased to be working with Team 17 on this title, as well as its soon-to-be-announced title which will launch in the fall of 2004."

Worms 3D expands upon the successful history of the turn-based action strategy franchise, featuring a bizarre and outlandish array of explosive weaponry and laugh-out-loud instances that will forever change the face of war. Worms 3D enhances the classic Worms gameplay, including favorite series' weapons such as ninja ropes, jetpacks and super sheep, as well as hilarious new weapons that were designed to take advantage of the new liberating 3D landscape. Worms 3D also includes fully destructible environments, more than 100 unlockable hidden features and a wide variety of single and multiplayer modes, including head-to-head online play.

Worms 3D will be available in February across the next-generation gaming systems and PC at suggested retail prices to be determined. For more information on this game, please visit http://www.worms3d.com.
