Worms Rumble rolls to PS5, PS4 and PC December 1, open beta runs November 6-8

[Loudninja]

Hey everyone! We were so happy to finally announce Worms Rumble to our PlayStation fans back in July, and we have some more fantastic news to share with you today – Worms Rumble is launching December 1 on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4! We can't wait for you to jump in and join the fun!

And that's not all…

We are also happy to announce that Worms Rumble will have an open beta this November 6 – 8! Free to all PS+ subscribers, you can start honing your skills ahead of launch. We made sure that this real-time version Worms is easy to pick up and play but has a high skill ceiling, so it will take some time to master. Join us and get in early ahead of the competition come launch day!

Our beta version will have a small taste of what is to come in December, featuring:

• Three Game Modes (Deathmatch and our take on Battle Royale "Last Worm Standing" and "Last Squad Standing")
• One Arena and Training Level
• Our Full Launch Arsenal of Weapons (more information coming soon on these!)
• Two Brand New Utilities – the Jetpack and Grapple Gun!

That's right! Our fan favourite Jetpack returns, allowing you to jet away from incoming fire and around the map, or swing into action with our new take on the classic Ninja Rope – the Grapple Gun!

With Worms coming into its 25th year, and fifth console generation for PlayStation, the mayhem has never looked so good. Harnessing the megaton power of the PS5, we have created the first 4K Worms experience with full crossplay support. Play with friends on PS5, PS4 and PC at launch!

What? That is not the Worms game I was expecting, but it sure got me interested lol

Reminds me of Rocket Riot which is a great thing, can't wait!

I don't like to wade in with negativity, but I played the closed beta / alpha whatever it was recently, and it was just really dull game.

December 1 date may not be accurate.

Whelp, glad I get to try for "free" in a few weeks.

Still really confused by this. A free to play worms game is a decent idea but this isn't really the worms we all know and love.

Reminds me of Paradox Games' Showdown Effect which was a lot of fun. Shame it was unceremoniously shut down and unlisted like pretty much all paradox games' multiplayer games are.

That game was my jam. The gunplay and action film theming were pitch perfect.

Worms Rumble sort of feels like Soldat's mechanics crossed with Showdown Effect's level design. I kind of wish they would lean harder in one direction or the other. But those are both solid games.

looks light speed for a worms game lol

 

[Xater]

This looks kinda bad? Even the trailer with the generic stock music just screams cheap.

 

[Arta]

Downloading now to see how it plays.

 

[LetalisAmare]

It's actually not bad. Really hectic at times and they did a good job of bringing across worms weapons and items into a game like this.

Not sure if it's something I'd buy though.

Closet thing i'm getting to crash commando i suppose
