Worms will be 25 years old this October,battle royale mode the beloved real-time strategy series having entertained generations of gamers with its multiplayer action and cheeky sense of humour.
To celebrate the anniversary a new game called Worms Rumble has been announced with a battle royale mode, which you might think would please fans. But it hasn’t, because the game is real-time.
