Team17 has announced that PC title Worms Reloaded will be released on 26th August 2010. It has almost been 10 years since the last 2D Worms PC game apparently, with the series having sold 25 million copies over its 15 year lifespan.

“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, Business Development Director at 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.”

Worms Reloaded has over 60 single player missions (including new Warzone Campaign and Bodycount Mode), alongside a landscape creator, 45+ weapons from the entire Worms series and a currency based customisation system. It’s also in HD, allegedly. If you pre-order the game from Steam, you can get 10% off and 24 hour early access to the game as well as some exclusive in-game items.
