Have you played Worms? If not, you’re missing out – Worms is a side scrolling turn-based shooter that has cartoon worms using a large arsenal of weapons to, well, blow each other sky high. The series itself has seen a great deal of success, spanning a large number of consoles and mobile platforms.

EA has evidentially made note of this, recently announcing that they have purchased the rights to publish Worms on mobile platforms.

Head of Team 17 (the studio behind Worms), Debbie Bestwick, had the following to say about EA’s purchase:

“As the market leader in mobile gaming, EA Mobile’s reach and breadth of partner relationships will massively help Worms’ positioning and greatly increase appeal to a new generation of mobile gamers.”
