Team17 has announced Worms: Battle Islands, a downloadable title for the PSP available this winter from the PlayStation Store.

The game boasts several new features, including the multiplayer focused Tactics Mode. In Tactics Mode, the player takes control of their very own Secret Island Base made up of many different islands, each island imparting a tactical advantage for the player to use at the beginning of a game.

The player could recon a battlefield before the war commences, or snipe an enemy worm to gain the upper hand; each one of the 16 islands available in game can be used to compliment the player’s individual play style. Take the fight online and, should you be victorious, you will have the opportunity to steal an item from your opponent’s island for your own personal use.

Also new is a weapons editor. Players can create their ideal Worms weapon, tweak and tune with a multitude of adjustable elements and then take it to the battlefield. Melee weapons, grenades, missile weapons and airstrikes are all available to create, giving players the ability to field an entirely individual armoury in every match.

Worms: Battle Islands also feature enhanced worm customisation elements including masks, backpacks and custom power bars, and an extensive landscape editor.
