At Gamescom 2026, Team17 and Absolutely Games announced that the Worms franchise — long defined by its anarchic 2D artillery chaos — is stepping into a new dimension entirely. Worms: Galactic Tactics reimagines the series as an isometric, turn-based tactical roguelike, trading twitch reflexes for deliberate, chess-like strategy while preserving the absurdist humor and destructible mayhem that made the worms beloved in the first place. It is a reminder that even the most established creative identities must occasionally ask themselves not just what they are, but what they might yet become.
