Press Release - For Immediate Distribution
Today marks the 25th anniversary of Team17’s renowned and classic Worms franchise. Therefore, it is only fitting to unveil Evercade’s next cartridge featuring 3 classic titles from the series; Worms, Worms Armageddon, and Worms Blast. This exciting partnership with Team17 delivers some of the most well-loved games from the Worms franchise to the Evercade. These games are 16-bit and 32-bit titles from the 1990s and offer pass and play, multiplayer action.
Upon its release in November 1995, Worms created its own strategy genre with an unapologetically fun art-style and selection of characters, all the while providing you with a complex yet enjoyable gameplay experience. This kickstarted a franchise, with over 20 titles, and went on to cultivate a special place in the hearts of gamers around the world. Blaze Entertainment are delighted to work with Team17 to bring a slice of that legacy to the Evercade platform.
The Evercade Worms collection will be released in May 2021 and pre-orders will open in the coming months.
