Worms creator rejoins Team17
After 17 years and over 20 games, the Worms series is getting a little long in the tooth. As developer Team17 works to get out of that rut with the newly-announced Worms Revolution, series creator Andy Davidson has rejoined the English indie to help out.
After 17 years and over 20 games, the Worms series is getting a little long in the tooth. As developer Team17 works to get out of that rut with the newly-announced Worms Revolution, it'll be getting a helping hand from the series' creator, Andy Davidson, who has now rejoined the English indie studio.
"I left Team17 feeling I hadn't finished what I wanted to achieve, but for professional reasons I knew I had to walk away," Davidson said in the announcement. He left Team17 following the release of 1997's Worms 2. "I've returned to scratch the creative itch that's been bothering me for the last fourteen years."
Davidson explained that he'll be offering his "insight" to Revolution, "to ensure that the game balance is true to the spirit of the brand." Team17 also teases that he "has been working on a variety of new game ideas," so who knows, we might even see something original from Team17.
Worms Revolution is coming to PC and unspecified consoles between July and September.

Nearly, it's still missing a lot of things, Worms 2 has bizarrely always been the most flexible, playable and fun of the worms games, they just can't figure out what they're doing. There's always something lacking.

Huh, really? I thought that was Armageddon

It's got a nice additional selection of weapons, but i still remember it lacking a decent menu, Worms 2 let you do all sorts of cool things with your teams and it was fucking easy to do, I loosely remember Armageddon loosing the UI and a few other things.

Agreed. It's really odd, I would've figured that the worms franchise, even in it's current state, is successful enough to fund more staff and help them create bigger, better features.

I loved Scorched Earth. I wish Worms would have copied that concept more.
