THQ Wireless’ Worms 2008: A Space Oddity coming in June

Don’t know about you, but I really, really enjoy playing Worms. That’s why I was delighted to learn THQ Wireless will mobilize the latest sequel, Worms 2008: A Space Oddity, this summer.

According to the game publisher, Worms 2008 retains all the familiar gameplay and unique sense of humour. However, the game will “showcase a whole raft of new features” including four all-new mini-games, an enhanced single player campaign mode, an all-new landscape view mode and new weapons.

Worms 2008 features a story of intergalactic Worm travellers exploring their solar system. The improved single-player campaign missions feature varying objectives to keep the player on their toes as they fight to defend installations, repair space crafts, collect rare minerals and battle to the death against alien races. With the space setting comes a host of new weapons, including the Impact Frag, Atom Packs and Cluster Frags, which are based around the classic Worms weapons but share all new artwork and names with Worms: A Space Oddity, released earlier this year for Nintendo Wii.

In addition, there’s the all new AI system, as well as new graphics and animations such as smoke trails and “multi-layered parallax particles.”

Worms 2008 is scheduled to be available for over 850 mobile phones starting in June 2008. More information is available on THQ Wireless’ website and few more screenshots follow after the jump.
