Update [Tue 27th Aug, 2024 16:45 BST]:
Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition has been confirmed for the Switch and will launch on 26th September 2024.
The game was revealed as part of a sizzle reel during the recent Nintendo Direct Partner showcase, so we don't have a great deal to report at the moment in terms of new features, but it certainly looks like Worms!
Hopefully we'll have more to share in the coming weeks.
Original Article [Tue 27th Aug, 2024 05:15 BST]:
It looks like Team17's 1999 turn-based strategy title Worms Armageddon could soon be making a return modern systems.
A new rating for Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition has popped up in Taiwan for multiple platforms including the Nintendo Switch. There's even some artwork attached. It reportedly follows an "Epic Games store database site leak", which mentioned the same title (thanks, Gematsu):
While there's no other information at this stage, the same rating board has previously revealed Switch games ahead of schedule. Apart from a PC release, Worms Armageddon was also released on the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color back in the day.
Nintendo is hosting an official Partner Direct later today and unsurprisingly there's already speculation this could be one of the reveals given the timing. Of course, there's no guarantee, and no official announcement for this title has been made yet.
Would you like to see the return of this classic Worms title? Let us know in the comments.

Loved this on N64!
Would I regret getting again though? Hmm. Not played a worms game since then.
oh I would love if this got a reveal today, this and W.M.D are my favorite 2D Worms games so having them both on Switch would be amazing
now if only they also ported Worms Ultimate Mayhem to Switch
I was just thinking either this or Worms World Party would be great on Switch. Not a big fan of the newer installments.
My gosh, I hope this is real. This is one of my most played games from my childhood.
I'll GET YOU!!!! Love this game.
@Pigeon agreed
The old worms games, particularly the art work, was one of the things that made them such fun to play. Never liked the 3d versions or the newer art work.
If it's the classic version then I'm all for it. Would love to see Worm's World Party as that was the best worms game IMO
This is great news! I still play the old Worms Armageddon to this day on PC. The newer games are not the same in terms of physics.
HELL YES! Used to play this on PC, it's about time the Switch got a top-tier Worms game. Worms 1 & 2 next please Team 17 🙏🏽
@MarcelM I know right?
This is THE Worms game. So glad it's coming to Switch. No other Worms game comes close to this classic.
Nice if it ends up being confirmed (even more so if during the Partner Showcase), could be my chance to finally play properly a Worms game - I think I've barely played one on emulator (maybe a GBA game?) back in the day!
If the multiplayer is cross platform Im in. Wmd suffered from not having this feature imo, even though it was a great game.
WMD was fun. Hope this one gets a physical release too.
@Mana_Knight Had it myself on PS1.
Sounds like it will be a likely reveal along with MySims in the partnership direct.
Lots of nostalgia for the N64 version. I hope they retain the old school art style
Its just a matter of waiting for official confirmation in the Partner Direct.
One of my favs of the early Worms games.
A quarter of my youth was spent playing ladder games in worms Armageddon, I'm gonna play the heck out of this. Hopefully the online part is good so I can once again prove my superiority.
Cool, but can you use the switch to take pictures and add them as courses?
Love these Worms game, definitely would be getting this anniversary edition.
hopefully they don't butcher this the way they screwed up the world party remake
