Worms Rumble, the 32-player cross-platform arena battler that launched on PlayStation and PC towards the end of last year, is coming to Nintendo Switch.
The announcement comes from new comments shared by Team17 CEO, Debbie Bestwick MBE, who has called 2021 a "very exciting and busy year" for the company (thanks, Gematsu). Worms Rumble will, of course, be joining Overcooked! All You Can Eat in Switch's 2021 library, another game that was recently announced to be making the jump to Nintendo's console.
Rumble isn't your typical Worms experience, ditching the series' tried and trusted turn-based strategy for real-time, battle royale-style gameplay. Our friends over at Push Square called it a "simple but successful" spin-off in their review, praising it for being "fun and frantic enough to keep you hooked."
It hit PlayStation's PS Plus service as soon as it launched in December, meaning that – should its cross-platform play extend to Switch – there should already be a pretty sizable player base to fight against. No specific release date has been revealed just yet, but we'll make sure to update you when we learn more.
Looking forward to checking out Worms Rumble on Switch? Have you already tried it out elsewhere? Fire away in the comments below.

Pretty dead game no single player content unless something has changed. The game is very much like the ultra obscure classic Crash Commando for PS3 but with less maps, modes and no bots.
Can we get a good worms game instead? Oh yeah, WMD.
Nice, its a really fun take on the Worms experience, though anyone looking for a proper turn-based and destructable terrain Worms experience should definitely stick with Worms WMD.
Hopefully its free when it releases.
If not I wish we would get free games like this as part of the NSO subscription.
I quite enjoy the beta that i tried out.
the problem is,
that the multiplayer in the PC version is pretty much dead. so there's no point of playing this game, unless it goes to free to play. (not sure about the PlayStation version though.)
No physical no buy
I got this for free on PSN+, but been in backlog since release.
This game was SO ADDICTING the first month it was on PSN. Now though, it's impossible to get a match going. They seriously need to consider going free to play for this type of game, or add in a single player mode/campaign. Until that happens, I'll stick with the PSN copy in hopes it's crossplay with the Switch release's surge.
Fun game but it is pretty dead. Maybe it will take off on the Switch? I hope so.
A bit unfair to call a different Attempt on the Series Rubbish and Bad.
We have Worms Armageddon and Worms WMD, does it make so much Sense to have another one with the same Formula People will ***** on?
I rather prefer it that they play around creativly with their IP and make a Game like Rumble.
Maybe an Addon for WMD that also adresses some of its Problems.
This game looks like a lot of fun. I love classic Worms but think a real time variant could be great. I just don't want to spend money on something that I will struggle to find anyone to play against.
This is very bad news because it means that we will have to way another couple of years for a proper 2D Worms game. That's a shame because after some 500 into WMD (playing with a human opponent), I could really use some change!
Thats cool in all but I trying to get a game it it took 30 min before I got a game.
Really brings me back to Worms Armageddon and naming all my teams after DBZ characters. Maybe I should go back and add the roster from Super to another team too. Food for thought.
