Evaluation

Worms W.M.D launched on August 23, 2016 and received a series of free post-launch content updates over the following years, including the Wormhole map theme update in February 2018 and the Brimstone update on July 23, 2019, which added a new map theme, cosmetic items, and gameplay improvements. The Brimstone update appears to be the last substantive content addition to the game. From 2020 onward, developer news posts on this game's Steam page shifted to promoting other titles in the franchise (Worms Rumble, and now Worms: Galactic Tactics). On August 25, 2026, Team17 announced Worms: Galactic Tactics — a new entry in the Worms franchise targeting a 2027 launch — via this game's news feed. This is a promotion for a separate game, not new content for Worms W.M.D itself. Also on August 25, 2026, Team17 pushed a small maintenance patch to Worms W.M.D that temporarily disabled the Global Chat feature while they work on an updated version. While this confirms the developer is still maintaining the game's online infrastructure, it is a maintenance action rather than new content. No new content for Worms W.M.D has been announced, no unreleased DLC is listed on the store, and no roadmap or future content plans have been communicated. The game is complete as a content package, with the Brimstone update in July 2019 representing the final content release.

About this game

Join the fight and command your worm warriors into battle in the iconic 2D arcade artillery shooter where serious strategy and silly weaponry decide who swims or sinks.

Wage Widespread Worm Warfare

Unleash tactical, turn-based total chaos in gloriously hand-drawn artillery battlegrounds. Arm your invertebrate platoons with a massive arsenal, command heavy machinery, and use the landscape to your advantage. Outsmart your rivals, blow enormous holes in their plans — and preferably the ground beneath them — to blast them off the map and be the last worms standing.

Artillery Combat on a Whole New Scale

Ready your Holy Hand Grenade, round up the Super Sheep and prepare to drop the Concrete Donkey. Blast your way through 30 campaign levels with over 80 weapons & utilities at your fingertips. Take the high ground, tunnel to safety, set the perfect trap — or forget the plan entirely and reach for the explosives.

The More the Squirmier

Worms W.M.D comes locked, loaded and stuffed with ways to wage war. Hone your skills in Training Missions, take on the Campaign and tackle Challenges solo. Train up then head online to wreak havoc in multiplayer modes and take on up to five opponents in hilarious all-out tactical combat in local, online or ranked play.

Form alliances. Break alliances. Accidentally bazooka yourself into the sea. Whatever happens, make sure your worms are the last ones standing.
