[This unedited press release is made available courtesy of Gamasutra and its partnership with notable game PR-related resource GamesPress.]

Not content to rest on their laurels after a string of successful releases across multiple platforms this summer, Team17 are proud to announce the release of Worms 2: Armageddon to the PlayStation ® Network, for PlayStation ® 3, across SCEE territories.

Featuring an in-depth single-player Campaign Mode, Tutorials and Firing Ranges along with multi-player online and offline game modes, it is now even easier to jump in and get involved with the world of Worms TM . Playable in full 1080p, this is Team17’s best looking Worms TM title yet and with full trophy support and customization options, this is a Worms TM title that is guaranteed to last the test of time, in both a gameplay and a visual sense.

Martyn Brown, Business Development Director at Team17, says; “We’re delighted to finally bring Worms 2: Armageddon to PSN and we’re sure it’ll provide a huge hit with fans of the game, especially with the great new customisation options and the addition of some new and classic weaponry for this platform. We’ve taken time to really polish this edition and it looks fantastic in 1080p and as usual, provides endless hours of mayhem on or offline.”

PSN users can even play a free trial of Worms 2: Armageddon before unlocking the full game; a feature limited demo version comprised of a select few single-player Campaign levels and one offline multi-player game style. This is a great opportunity for the uninitiated to find out just why Worms TM games have been incredibly popular for over 15 years!

Key Features:

  • Up to 1080p resolution for amazing visuals and detail.
  • Tons of voices and customisation options.
  • Full online or offline multi-player for up to four players over a wealth of game modes – beginner, intermediate, pro, races, forts and crazy crates!
  • Hilarious Sony endorsed hats for the Worms to wear out on the battlefield – Sackboy, Motorstorm, Lemmings, Helghast and Buzz hats are all available for unlocking!
  • All new improved landscape generator for unlimited random level design.
  • Play standard or ranked games in a bid to scale the leaderboards.
  • 27 Trophies to collect.
  • Headset supported.
