Mere days after Worms: Galactic Tactics leaked<\/a>, hinting at the upcoming game’s strategy-based gameplay, Team17 and Absolutely Games have revealed Galactic Tactics at Gamescom 2026. No official launch date has been provided, but Absolutely Games, the developer behind Galactic Tactics, has given us a look at what the gameplay will be like when the game eventually launches. Team17 also snuck in an announcement at the end of the Galactic Tactics trailer that hints at a 2.5D remake of the classic original Worms game. <\/p>\n

Worms: Galactic Tactics is a new isometric, 3D spin on the Worms franchise, with XCOM-like turn-based tactical gameplay. Galactic Tactics will still inherit the goofy voice lines, whimsical character design, over-the-top weapons, and destructible environments from its predecessor, but it will no longer be confined to a 2D side view. The game’s premise is that the characters have all been kidnapped from their home world and are being made to compete in a gladiator arena in multi-stage death matches of increasing difficulty. The game will feature both single- and multi-player game modes, and presumably, there will be local multiplayer.<\/p>\n

\nSome other highlights in Galactic Tactics include:A mod system for weaponsCustomizable characters with alternate cosmetics and voice linesSkills-based mini-games to determine weapon aim and lethalityReturning classic weapons and new additions to the arsenalSpecialist enemies and boss battlesAlthough an official release date has yet to be announced, Worms: Galactic has been confirmed to be coming to PC on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation 5, and the Nintendo Switch 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mere days after Worms: Galactic Tactics leaked, hinting at the upcoming game’s strategy-based gameplay, Team17 and Absolutely Games…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604910,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[61,60,80],"class_list":["post-604909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604909\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
