Worms XBLA Update Detailed & Dated

This week on Team17's Official Forum, Creative Director Spadge had this to say. "We now believe that the update will go live on Weds 23rd May, sorry it's not sooner. As for when the first load of DLC ships (and what it contains) I can't say, but it will be less than 8 days after the update goes live..."

Hit the jump for the full list of impending General Fixes, Xbox Live Fixes, Ranked Games Fixes and Leaderboard Reset Details.

Before anyone flames me for linking to a forum post I'd like to point out that the source is 100% valid (from the horses mouth no less) and the post has actually been up for a few days now. I'm only posting the details here as the sites that usually carry Worms XBLA info haven't picked it up yet !

Just passing on the good news to my fellow Wormers, I'm a regular visitor there and thought everyone should know :)

>>Added Alternative Source for the actual date confirmation post<<

Looking Back to 1995 and the unkillable genius of Worms

Dave writes: "Being a bit of an old-timer, I remember the launch of Worms. As an owner of an Atari ST, I’d read all of the Amiga magazines simply because games would hit the Amiga first, and our team would get them in due course. There’d be a tinge of envy as I’d make a wishlist of the games to get when they arrived on the ST, and I remember Worms being one of them."

Team 17’s “Worms Collection 1” is coming to the Evercade console in May 2021

"Team 17 and Evercade are today very proud and excited to announce that the "Worms Collection 1” pack (which includes "Worms", "Worms Armageddon", and "Worms Blast") is coming to the Evercade console in May 2021" - Jonas Ek, TGG.

Nice =) I hope that you will enjoy the collection once you get it ;)

ScootaKuH1684d ago

It looks great although it does have one fundamental flaw - the Evercade is a single player machine and the Worms games are best played in multiplayer.

Having said that, I guess as players tend it in turns you'd just pass the machine around each player

I'm surprised Ratchet & Clank wasn't on the list. Late Saint's Row games, with more imaginative weapons like the Shark gun and the armchair with guns would fit on a part two list as well

NomadsReviews1728d ago

I'm not familiar with Ratchet and Clank (not my sort of game) but I'll add it to the list for part two along with Saint's Row. Thanks for the suggestions :-)

phoenixwing1727d ago

look up resistance fall of man from insomniac as well. there were some interesting weapons for that too

P_Bomb1727d ago (Edited 1727d ago )

@phoenix
Resistance series 100%. Especially the secondary fires. Auger shields, Bullseye tags, Magnum detonator, Rossmore incindiary, then throw a Hedgehog for good measure. By the time I got to R3 they were onto Atomizers and Mutators. Armory speaks for itself.

FreeckyCake1727d ago

Does the unicorn weapon from Red Faction: Armageddon counts?

gleepot1727d ago

Cerebral Bore from Turok 2. Farsight from Perfect Dark.

NomadsReviews1727d ago

Thank you to everyone for your excellent suggestions. They have all been added to the list for part two which should be published by the end of the month :-)
