Wi-Fi Worms heading to a dual-screen near you this summer.

Developers of last year's Worms: Open Warfare, THQ has today confirmed that a sequel is on the war for this summer, and looks to be ticking the boxes as to gamer's complaints about what was left out of the last game.

Finally, multi-player battles extend all over the world as you annihilate Worms via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Famous battles of the past can now be re-incarnated (the Spanish Armada conquest in "Pirates!," the frontlines of real war in "World War II" and laser shooting spaceships in "Space War!,") and new single and multiplayer modes feature a raft of new options.

Multiplayer modes include Rope Race, Fort, Puzzle and Campaign, which challenges players to use new strategies and teamwork to defeat their enemies. The new Firing Range allows gamers to test their weapons skills, including 11 new weapons like the Bunker Buster and Buffalo of Lies as well as classics such as the Super Sheep, Concrete Donkey and the Holy Hand Grenade.

Not only that, but gamers who take the battle online will be able to demonstrate their Worms combat prowess with daily updated stats and leaderboards on the official Worms website. Players will also enjoy the new, in-depth customisation options including custom landscape and team flag editors in addition to modified hats, tombstones and victory dances for their worm teams.

This all sounds great, though leaves us wondering why THQ had to release such a rushed product last year. More news as it comes.
