<br />
The PC version of <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/worms-ultimate-mayhem/">Worms Ultimate Mayhem</a></em> will reach Steam on September 28, a one-week delay from its previous pronouncement of war. Launch dates for operations on the Xbox 360 and PS3 are still to be determined.<br />
<br />
Along with today's debut delay announcement, Team 17 brought out a new "customization" trailer. The clip features some of the 100 fashion items available for the Worms, and shows off the "weapon factory," which allows players to customize how some items in their arsenal deliver sweet, wormy death.<br />

<em>Worms Ultimate Mayhem</em> is still aiming for a 2011 launch, with the armed dirt crawlers showing off in this trailer for the game's single-player mode. The game is also currently available on <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/70600/">Steam</a> for pre-order at 10 percent off, with a four-pack at 25 percent off.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/15/worms-ultimate-mayhem-kicks-off-in-trailer-screens/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Worms Ultimate Mayhem kicks off in trailer, screens</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/15/worms-ultimate-mayhem-kicks-off-in-trailer-screens/">Worms Ultimate Mayhem kicks off in trailer, screens</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 15 Sep 2011 21:35:00 EST.

<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/worms-ultimate-mayhem"><em>Worms Ultimate Mayhem</em></a> has been officially announced by Team 17 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Revealed by the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/30/worms-ultimate-mayhem-rated-in-australia/">Australian Classification Board in May</a>, <em>Worms Ultimate Mayhem</em> is a downloadable HD re-vamp and "reimagining" of <em>Worms 3D</em> and <em>Worms 4: Mayhem</em>. The game will include "all of the content" from the original games, along with 60 single-player missions, 12 graphical themes, 38 weapons and full online play for up to four players.<br />
<br />
Team 17's head designer John Dennis also mentions that they've made improvements suggested by fans of the original games. The voice-acted missions are good and fine, but the "vastly improved camera functionality" is what could finally convert the hate directed at the 3D installments of the series into wriggly worm love.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/worms-ultimate-mayhem-xbla-psn-pc/">Worms: Ultimate Mayhem (XBLA/PSN/PC)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/worms-ultimate-mayhem-xbla-psn-pc/#4327642"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/07/wormsultimatemayhemannouncementscreen01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/worms-ultimate-mayhem-xbla-psn-pc/#4327643"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/07/wormsultimatemayhemannouncementscreen02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/worms-ultimate-mayhem-xbla-psn-pc/#4327644"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/07/wormsultimatemayhemannouncementscreen03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/worms-ultimate-mayhem-xbla-psn-pc/#4327645"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/07/wormsultimatemayhemannouncementscreen04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/worms-ultimate-mayhem-xbla-psn-pc/#4327646"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/07/wormsultimatemayhemannouncementscreen05_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/28/worms-ultimate-mayhem-revamps-the-3d-worms-games-this-fall/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Worms Ultimate Mayhem revamps the 3D Worms games this fall</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/28/worms-ultimate-mayhem-revamps-the-3d-worms-games-this-fall/">Worms Ultimate Mayhem revamps the 3D Worms games this fall</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 28 Jul 2011 17:30:00 EST.

Team 17 has received a rating for <em>Worms: Ultimate Mayhem</em> from the Australian Classification Board. The unannounced invertebrate title will likely be digitally distributed -- like most of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/team-17">Team 17's most recent projects</a>.<br />
<br />
If the <em>Ultimate Mayhem</em> title is a hint of what to expect from this game, then it would be fair to guess it's based on <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worms_4:_Mayhem">Worms 4: Mayhem</a></em>. Meaning <em>Worms: Ultimate Mayhem</em> could be the first 3D <em>Worms</em> game for HD consoles. A new 3D installment of <em>Worms</em> certainly comes with risk, as the <a href="http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/worms-3d">3D</a> <a href="http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/worms-4-mayhem">iterations</a> of <em>Worms</em> were never as well-received as their 2D counterparts.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/30/worms-ultimate-mayhem-rated-in-australia/">'Worms Ultimate Mayhem' rated in Australia</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 30 May 2011 23:15:00 EST.
