Worms: The Future of Yesterday's Worms Today

A gloriously strange new Worms celebration page has landed, offering an expansion pack, a remix album, browser-based map tools, and a Discord hangout for one of gaming’s most beloved cartoon battle series. But the real fireworks are in the comments, where fans aren’t calmly discussing features so much as emotionally reliving their childhoods in public.

The loudest reaction by far is pure, uncut nostalgia. One commenter basically admitted they don’t even fully understand what this new project is, and do not care one bit because they’re already dreaming of introducing Worms to their kids. Another declared it “one of the best games ever made” and pulled rank with an old-school flex: they’ve been here since the first DOS version, meaning the ancient computer era before many players were even born. That set the tone fast: this wasn’t a debate about whether Worms matters. It was a reunion of people acting like they’d just found a treasured toy in the attic.

There’s also a charming side plot of fans sharing oddly specific memories, like getting through the campaign with a babysitter or obsessing over a level for years. And yes, there’s even a mini music revelation, with one player only just learning who made the soundtrack and reacting like they’d uncovered a family secret. No major fighting broke out, but the hottest take was simple: Worms wasn’t just good, it was formative. The comments read less like reviews and more like a group therapy session for people raised by exploding sheep.
