Slimy invertibrates are set to do battle, once again. The combative Worms are ready to take their ongoing clash into the next generation with Worms Battlegrounds, the latest in the long-running strategy series from publisher Team17. The game is set to hit Xbox One on May 30 before firing onto PlayStation 4 on June 3.

Microsoft's Phil Spencer casually mentioned the first two ID@Xbox games: Nutjitsu from NinjaBee, and Worms Battlegrounds from Team17.

Team17 is planning to take a break from Worms games, focusing on a new IP that may appear on next-generation consoles.

Team17 announced Worms Revolution Extreme today, a Vita version of last year's console Worms Revolution title. It will support cross-platform play with the PS3 version, and a new 'Treasure Mode' feature.

Team17 announced Worms 3 today, a new game in the series heading to iOS devices in Q3. It will feature new weapons and modes, asynchronous or pass-and-play multiplayer, and a "Card Mode" feature.

Worms has officially launched on Facebook, offering the classic PC game with some modernized social and F2P hooks.

Team17 did say it was shaking things up in Worms Revolution, having made largely the same game for 17 years, and it seems that may be the case. Worms Rev will introduce four worm classes with different abilties to the turn-based strategy series.

After 17 years and over 20 games, the Worms series is getting a little long in the tooth. As developer Team17 works to get out of that rut with the newly-announced Worms Revolution, series creator Andy Davidson has rejoined the English indie to help out.
