Worms Collection will be slithering onto PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 later this summer, publisher Mastertronic has announced.
The bundle includes three games in the venerable explosive strategy franchise, namely the 1995 eponymous original, Worms: Ultimate Mayhem and Worms 2: Armageddon. Not only that, but you’ll also get six DLC packs to boot.
Team 17’s Nick Clarkson commented: “There’s only one thing more dangerous than a worm with a big gun, and that’s three worms with big guns.”
“We’re over the moon to see these three titles buddying up on one disc and heading to retailers, and unless your heart is completely cold and wormless, I reckon it’s a fairly irresistible proposition.”
Here’s the full lowdown on the three games included in the pack, courtesy of the official press blurb:
Worms
The beast that started it all, Worms was originally released for a legion of now defunct hardware platforms back in 1995, and since 2007 has found armies of new fans with releases on Xbox Live®, PlayStation®Network and iOS. In the game, teams of worms fight to the death using heavy artillery in turn-based battles, with the last worm standing declared the winner.
Worms Ultimate Mayhem
First launched in 2011 for PC, Xbox Live® and PlayStation®Network, Worms Ultimate Mayhem is a turbo-charged reworking of Worms 3D and Worms 4: Mayhem, loaded with more of everything from customisation options to missions, and presented in dazzling 3D.
Worms 2: Armageddon
Released in 2009, with versions released for Xbox Live® and PlayStation®Network, the sequel to 1997’s Worms: Armageddon ups the ante with the return of fan favourite weaponry, brand new armaments, bags of customisations options, fancy new physics, and much, much more.
Worms Collection is due out in Europe on August 31.
