An Unannounced Worms Game Has Seemingly Leaked, and It Looks Like It's Returning to 3D

How will they worm out of this one?

The Worms series has been around for a long time, and even though it's not as prevalent as it used to be, Team 17 is still keeping the franchise alive on PS5.

It appears as though the studio is working on a new Worms title, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise, but if this leak is to be believed, it's steering things in a new direction.

According to someone calling themselves Evil Leeker man, a new Worms game, codenamed Project Arrakis, is currently undergoing playtesting.

Funnily enough, the first leak came in response to the seemingly fake Assassin's Creed leak:

The leaks show screenshots of this unannounced game, as well as a shot of the Steam details that give it a little more credibility.

It would appear the game's title is Worms Galactic Tactics, and from the shots leaked thus far, it seems to be an XCOM-style, 3D, turn-based tactics game.

Given that Worms is already a turn-based strategy title, albeit in 2D and with free movement, this seems like a sidestep that makes a lot of sense.

That's if this is legitimate, of course; the source of this leak is ropey at best. However, with numerous screenshots out in the open, we're inclined to believe it.

We're not far away from the video game calendar's favourite month for announcements. Summer Game Fest is already hyping itself up. This apparent new Worms game may be close to being announced; we'll have to wait and see.
