Worms: Battlegrounds coming to PS4, Xbox One this year
Team17 has announced Worms: Battlegrounds, their first title to be released for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. The developer’s franchise has appeared on 25 other platforms since it first debuted in 1995, and now it’s about to join next-gen consoles.
Team17 will be one of the first studios to self-publish through the ID@Xbox program with Worms: Battlegrounds. The game is due sometime in 2014 for both PS4 and Xbox One; however, if this is the Worms game Phil Spencer mentioned on Twitter (and it likely is), it’s due out on Xbox One in March.
