Worms: Open Warfare 2 for PSP and Nintendo DS Shipping

THQ announces that Worms: Open Warfare 2 for the PlayStation Portable system and Nintendo DS is now available at retailers throughout North America. Following the release of THQ's Worms: Open Warfare last year, this new title features classic Worms humor, unprecedented customization options, as well as online multiplayer mode, pitting Worms fiends from around the world against each other. Worms: Open Warfare 2 is rated E10+.

In Worms: Open Warfare 2, players can look forward to classic modes such as Deathmatch, as well as several new single and multiplayer modes such as Rope Race, Forts, Puzzle and Campaign modes that challenge players to use new strategies and teamwork to defeat their enemies. The game's vast arsenal of weaponry features 11 brand new weapons including the Bunker Buster and Buffalo of Lies, as well as tried and true weapons such as the Super Sheep, Concrete Donkey and Holy Hand Grenade. Players will command their troops across six new war-themed environments based on famous battles throughout history, in addition to a fictional battle set in the future. Worms: Open Warfare 2 also takes the battle online via Wi-Fi, allowing gamers to post their Worms expertise with daily updated stats and leaderboards on the official Worms: Open Warfare 2 website. Players will also experience new, in-depth customization options including landscape and team flag editors, as well as modified hats, tombstones and victory dances for their worm teams.

An additional Worms title, Worms 2007, is also now available for wireless handsets across all major mobile carriers worldwide. Worms: Open Warfare 2 and Worms 2007 were developed by Team17 Software out of West Yorkshire, UK. The studio is currently working on THQ's recently announced Worms: A Space Oddity, which is expected to be available in spring 2008. Worms: A Space Oddity will mark the franchise debut on the Wii home video game system and will feature a control scheme designed specifically for this system.
