Worms Rumble, which has previously been released on other platforms, is coming to the Nintendo Switch this year.

The popular multiplayer game which has a long-standing history across many platforms, beings back the trademark Worms gameplay, which many gamers have experienced over the years, except in this iteration, everything is in real-time.

Check below for the press release...

Worms Rumble is Worms like you’ve never played it before, with intense, real-time, arena-based 32 player cross-platform combat. Get ready for Deathmatch and Last Worm Standing modes where you’re only ever a Holy Hand Grenade away from death!
