In the 21 years Worms has been in existence, the turn-based strategy-cum-murder playground has spawned over 20 main series entries and a smattering of supplementary spin-offs. Over 3,000,000,000 worms have met their maker in that time, says developer Team 17, which is a number sure to rise further still when Worms WMD arrives on August 23.
Expect new additions such as tanks, rocket-launching choppers and concealable buildings when it does; not to mention huge falling Concrete Donkeys because, well, this is Worms.
Should you wish to commit to the frontlines early, WMD’s All-Stars pre-order edition adds a whole host of familiar war-faring faces to your ranks too - from rocket-propelled cars, to raging orcs; from prison escapees, to dubstep gun-wielding saints. Check out highlights from the All-Stars pack ensemble below:
- Rocket League: Adds Rocket League's Octane Battle-Car to the war zone.
- Goat Simulator: Introduces the off-the-wall Goat-on-a-Rope weapon that utilises goats with sticky tongues, as well as a themed three-mask set.  
- PAYDAY 2: Adds Payday-styled masks to your gang of slimy swindlers. 
- Saints Row IV: Equips worms with the infamous Dub Step Gun.
- Unturned: Three masks from the free-to-play zombie survival 'em up added to play, not to mention a specific Unturned mission. 
- Broforce: Adds the Broforce Turkey Bomb, as well as the The Liberty Strike air attack.
- Orcs Must Die! Unchained: A minions weapons and a three-mask set awaits orc/worm slaughterers.
- Yooka-Laylee: Adds a Yooka-Laylee-themed seven-mask set. 
- The Escapists: Introduces a new mission and a jailhouse-themed three-mask set.
- Classic Worms: Adds classic worm fodder by way of the Ming Vase, Sheep Launcher, and Kamikaze weapons, as well as five "classic" missions and a three-mask set.
