Worms: Clan Wars/Battlegrounds

First Worms game created for Xbox One and PS4, this entry into the Worms franchise added a focused single player campaign with stages created to tell a story including mechanics, puzzles and stealth as opposed to the traditionally seen random series of combat orientated stages whilst maintaining the turned based tactical combat the franchise is renowned for.

Added a Clan system to the game with a unique play mode for clans as well as having a fully integrated clan administration and members section inside the game itself allowing for all aspects of clan interaction to happen in game as apposed to on a website.

Clan Wars built upon the foundations of Worms Revolutions inclusion of physics based objects and dynamic water to create truly original content in the Worms franchise as well as expand the the games multiplayer aspects even further than anything coming before.
