Worms: Galactic Tactics Revealed for PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2 and PC

The new entry recasts the long-running Worms series as a 3D, turn-based tactical roguelike that blends fully destructible arenas with skill-based weapon play and persistent upgrade systems.

Overview

  • Team17 and developer Absolutely Games confirmed Worms: Galactic Tactics for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2 and PC with a 2027 release window.
  • The game shifts Worms into isometric 3D battlefields where terrain is fully destructible and movement and positioning matter within flexible, tactical turns.
  • Weapons now require skill minigames to land hits and can be tuned with a new mod system that changes weapon behavior and power between battles.
  • Galactic Tactics mixes roguelike elements with stage-based progression by letting players earn in-run currency, upgrade worms and carry persistent improvements between runs.
  • Team17 said a second, untitled Worms project is also in development and the series’ move from 2D artillery into tactical roguelike design marks a clear change in direction for future Worms releases.
