In case you missed it in the recent Nintendo Partner Showcase, Team17 is reviving its classic Worms Armageddon with the help of Digital Eclipse.
The Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition is releasing on multiple platforms including Switch and will come with all sorts of improvements like optimised controller support, new display features, an interactive museum and a built in copy of the Game Boy Color version.
Now, along with all of this, Team17 and Astragon Entertainment have unveiled a physical collector's edition of the game for Switch. It comes with a copy of the game, an anniversary coin, sticker sheet, collector's box, pin set, poster and instruction manual.
Pre-orders for this physical release are now available on sites like Amazon. Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition is due out on the Switch eShop on 26th September 2024, with the hard copy scheduled to follow this release in December 2024. You can find out more about the anniversary edition in our previous story.
Will you be adding this classic to your Switch library? Let us know in the comments.

Always good to see another "not Limited Run Games" distributor pop up. Gives me hope that eventually they'll be forced to either fix their FOMO crap, or get kicked into the bin with Pyrhana Battles.
Preferably the bin.
Thank goodness its not LRG. I think they're getting better but I just have started to dislike them more and more because they don't feel special and deserved anymore and are just cop-outs for lots of big publishers to avoid doing a normal release and that you can't have the ability to get it again after its pre-order easily, so whenever a game gets a release that is not only able to be bought at anytime, let alone it gets a full standard release, I get super happy
@Fighting_Game_Loser @Zeebor15 Indeed, thank f-k its not LRG. 🙏🥹❤️
Can you have @Robokku review this so we all get to be called worms again?
I bought Worms Armageddon for PC the day it released way back in 1999 and it remains one of my all-time favorite games! It's in my top three for sure! It's an absolutely sublime game packed with tons of fun and laughs and boasts a stellar soundtrack. I still listen to the soundtrack several times every week. I even picked up the Armageddon pledge of the Worms board game earlier this year and received the shipping notification today indicating it'll arrive on Thursday of this week. So stoked! This news about the anniversary edition is awesome and you can count my money as spent. (Alas! Alack!) If you've never played this game do yourself a favor and play it. It's an absolute BLAST with friends. I recommend it on PC first and foremost but just make sure you play it as you owe it to yourself to experience this masterclass in game design. You won't regret it.
Doubt it will be released also in Europe so most likely digital it is for me when I can get it!
@JohnnyMind I couldn't find out for sure with some Googling (sorry); but Team17 are British, Astragon Entertainment (the physical publisher) is German, and they have French on that image, so there is a chance of a PAL release!
I bought Worms WMD, but couldnt get on with it, too many items and vehicles.
Now this, loved playing it back in the day.
Does it have online or is it only local multiplayer?
@Grackler Thanks for telling me, will keep an eye out for a potential European release then!
Anyone know if there is also a standard physical release? I can’t seem to find anything that indicates that there is. I just don’t have space for these big box games, but if this is the only version, I guess I’m in.
@Oh_Well I’m with you. I don’t want any of the extra junk in this but would love a physical copy of the game
Physical copy for me but I wish it was coming out at the same time as the digital.
People getting an upper hand for multiplayer and the community might have dwindled significantly by the time December comes around. Hopefully not!
