Hello everyone. I’m sure, like me, many of you spent your childhoods planning audacious kamikaze attacks on unsuspecting worms in this classic gaming franchise. So again, like me, I’m sure you’ll be very happy to hear that we’ve teamed up with our friends at Team17 to bring you up to 75% off some great Worms titles and accompanying DLC.

These discounts will go live once the store has updated this afternoon and will run for one week only, so make sure you grab them while you can! Enjoy!

Hello PlayStation Blog! You may remember that last week we published a post on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita release of Alien Breed, in which our Creative Director, Kevin Carthew, made a sneaky reference to potential future retro-revivals of other classic Team17 titles.

Your response to that was fantastic and here at Team17 towers we all thoroughly enjoyed watching your guesses come in at what title we could be hinting at. Could it be Worms? Project-X? Superfrog? Body Blows? Arcade Pool?

Not many games can claim to have survived as long as Team17‘s Worms. Born from a simple idea, Worms first appeared in 1995! Now, 17 years later, Worms Revolution is heading to PlayStation 3. It will be available from the PlayStation Store as of 10th October priced at £9.99/€12.99.

It’s a completely new game built around the classic Worms 2D gameplay, but it also boasts a range of new, exciting features. Gamers will notice the game’s highly polished visuals but it won’t be until the action begins that they’ll marvel at new physics objects, dynamic water and an awesome class system.

To introduce the plethora of new features, we’ve created a series of five developer diaries. Here’s Worms Revolution‘s designer, Kev “Chesh” Carthew to introduce the game and tell us how the series came to be.

And if that grabbed your interest take a look at the second clip below to delve a little deeper into the development process with Ian Lindsey, the game’s lead programmer.

Look out for more from us in the run up to the game’s release later this year.

Hi everyone! With many of the Worms games, add-ons and themes on special sale offers on the PlayStation Store this week, we thought we would let you know a little about the Worms titles that are already currently available, and a little insight into what we have coming soon!

If classic 2D Worms is your preference, then you are spoilt for choice on PlayStation 3. Both the original Worms and the even more feature-packed follow up, Worms 2: Armageddon, are available now for classic turn-based, 2D cartoon strategy action. If you still haven’t had blown enough tiny invertebrates to bits, then there are also some great DLC packs available for Worms 2: Armageddon, with the Battle Pack, Puzzle Pack, Forts Pack, Time Attack and my favourite, the Retro Pack, all offering great new content for the game.

PlayStation 3 owners may also want to check out the recently released Worms Premium Theme and Worms Dynamic Theme if they want to have their XMB completely overrun with worms! The Dynamic Theme even pays a snowy Worms-style ‘homage’ to one of our favourite action heroes in PS3 gaming… see if you can guess who it is!

PlayStation Portable owners don’t have to go without either and Worms: Battle Islands is a fantastically feature-packed traditional 2D Worms experience for PSP, with a knowing “Modern Battlefield” theme!

Last month saw the release of a brand new PlayStation 3 Worms game, the brazenly-bonkers mixture of classic 2D Worms and hilarious eighteen-hole high jinks, Worms Crazy Golf, and also a free DLC pack, the “Carnival Course”. We have been really excited by the reaction so far to this compelling sports/puzzle mash up (a ‘spuzzle’ game as it has been called by some…well… by us!)

With regards to forthcoming titles, we are currently putting the final touches together on the PlayStation 3 game, Worms Ultimate Mayhem, which is, in our opinion, the definitive 3D Worms game. The game will have over 60 single-player missions, online or local multi-player for up to 4 players, 5 multi-player modes, and unprecedented customization and fully destructible environments. We don’t have a final release date at the moment, but we hope to be able to confirm this very soon!

We hope you enjoy the sale, and happy worming!
