Worms Rumble will be the first game in the series to feature real-time combat and multi-platform cross-play, with up to 32 players able to take part in matches in a range of arena maps, including a multi-leveled shopping mall – complete with its own ballistic missile silo. 

Worms Rumble will be fully-supported by ongoing, content updates featuring new arenas and customization.

Players will be able to level up their Worm and progress through the ranks, earning new weapons skins and character customizations, accessories and emotes as they go.

Team17 announced that Worms Rumble, the first real-time action installment in the Worms series, is launching on Nintendo Switch from 23rd June.

The release of the game, which first launched in November last year, will coincide with the availability of a brand-new and free arena: Spaceport Showdown.

Set far above the stratosphere, the Spaceport Showdown features a new, randomly generated, low-gravity mechanic that slows the action down during battle and joins the existing available maps: Deadly Dockyard, Battlegrounds Bank, Missile Mall, Portal Park, and Transforming Towers. New 1extra-terrestrial premium skins, banners, and emotes will help acclimatise the weapon-toting annelids to their new surroundings. A free exclusive outfit for Nintendo Switch players, the Patchwork Bear outfit, will be available.

A pre-order discount of 25% is available on digital edition purchases Nintendo Switch, with a physical release2 scheduled to arrive on 13th July.
