Worms Reloaded beta going worldwide on Monday

by Mike Schramm on Mar 27th 2010 6:00AM

News from the Steam Community tells us that Worms Reloaded, that new "extended" version of the old game in which sentient invertebrates do battle with rockets and/or sheep, is moving up to a worldwide beta. Previously, the game was only available for testing in Europe, but it's opening it up globally on Monday, so children of all nations will be able to throw airstrikes and ninja ropes at each other then.

The only catch? You need a key, and they've only got a few. So you'll just have to hope you come up when they spin the random numbers around. We do know that you have to be a member of the official group, so sign in over there right now ... and then begins the waiting game.

Meh, I'm pretty sick of the Worms games at this point. I'd love to see some sort of reboot for the series.

While I agree that Worms has been milked nearly as much as Street Fighter II, I'm still looking forward to this. Don't really know how they can tweak the formula too much to be honest.

please don´t ask for a reboot, worms is the only thing that team 17 has done right..... remember that the last time they tried to stop being a one trick horse we got larry loveage...... believe me it´s better this way.

I just wish they make a proper remake of the traditional Worms game with better visual on modern consoles and PC. Please try new stuffs after the basis has been settled down. And I think the formula is simply perfect for a pure fun game.

This is going to be a must have game for 'my friends dropped by and we're bored' kind of situation.

Screw this. Where's Worms 4?

2 for the PC was the best version out there and it's just been somewhat downhill from there despite extras...it's just not the same.

And the 3D versions just plain sucked.
