THQ has announced an agreement with the development studio Team 17 to publish Worms on the PSP and Nintendo DS. The games will retain the same sense of humour gamers have become accustomed to over almost a decade, and are said bring a raft of new features to the handheld market.
“The Worms brand is a huge global phenomenon shipping over 9 million units to date,” said Peter Dille, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Marketing, THQ. “The pick-up-and-play gameplay is an ideal formula for the PSP system and Nintendo DS formats and will enable THQ to extend our leadership position in the handheld sector.“
“Team17 is excited and delighted to bring Worms to Nintendo DS and the PSP system in conjunction with THQ,” said Martyn Brown, Studio Director, Team 17. “Both of these new systems represent exciting new handhelds capable of delivering unique experiences both in single player and using the exciting wireless multiplayer capabilities of the platforms. We are developing incredibly addictive new versions of our classic game for existing fans of the series and newcomers to the world of Worms. It’s time to dust off the Holy Hand Grenade and unleash some more exploding sheep!“
We will bring you more information on the handheld incarnations of the classic franchise when we get it.
