Team17 Reveals Worms: Galactic Tactics for PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2 and PC

A retool of the series, the game presents an isometric tactical roguelike with destructible 3D arenas that use a weapon‑mod upgrade loop.

Overview

  • Team17 and developer Absolutely Games announced the title Tuesday, confirming a 2027 release window for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2 and PC via Steam.
  • Galactic Tactics shifts Worms from 2D artillery to an isometric tactical roguelike where players fight through multi‑stage gauntlets on fully destructible 3D maps.
  • Combat combines flexible, turn‑based movement with skill‑based minigames to land attacks and strategic positioning that rewards high ground and timing.
  • Players can tune classic and new Worms weapons with a mod system and spend upgrades between runs, while custom squads, hats and cosmetics carry progression forward.
  • The reveal trailer also teases a second, untitled Worms project with no details or timing given, and the change in design signals Team17 is exploring both fresh directions and possible classic returns for the franchise.
