Hey Community, The time has come for us to share our Worms W.M.D Roadmap with you! Since the game’s launch in August we’ve been working hard planning out what content to bring to the game. The roadmap has gone through a few iterations and versions in both deciding what it should contain as well as what we should prioritise. The order in which we add content to the game was settled on after combining your feedback along with our vision for the game and what we can feasibly do in the given time. Some of the information will be more detailed than others, this is intentional as we keep back some surprises and finalise a few more dates and details. There will also be some things entirely hidden and we’ll spring them on you nearer the time. Thank you all for your support since the game’s launch, this is a journey we’re excited to share with you and we look forward to your feedback! Other than the different quarters all information listed below is in no particular order.

Quarter 1 2017

Cross Platform Play To ensure a smooth release of cross platform play between PC, Mac and Linux we’ve decided to push this out after Christmas. This was decided as the last thing we want is to push out this update and have it break multiplayer whilst everyone is away on holiday. We’re excited to get this out and in the wild so don’t expect to have to wait long once things get rolling again in January. Ranked Relaunch Ranked is being rebooted and relaunched, bigger, better, bolder…and fairer!

• Improved Matchmaking – New matchmaking that will ensure more fair, competitive matchups.
• Points awarded/lost differ depending on the skill gap with your opponent.
• A new league style progression system & worldwide ranking.
• Upgraded ranked profile page and ways to show off your ranked status in-game.
• New, tiered ranked rewards that add new ways to cosmetically show off your skill both in and out of game.
• New loading screens for ranked matches.
• The (potential) retiring of the Gold Bazooka & Silver Grenade skins – these will become legacy and exclusive to players who had earned them prior to the changes.

Increased level cap and new rewards More XP levels and more cool unlocks! AI in Online Multiplayer It’s coming! Due to player feedback this has been reprioritised from quarter 2 to quarter 1. Design a crafted weapon and get it in-game We’ll be launching a competition to get you to design a craftable upgrade for one of the 4 new Liberation weapons. The winning design will be implemented into the full game! Hat Editor – Steam Workshop More power to you, the creatives types in the community! Curate and share your player made hats on the Steam Workshop to be used in-game. Crafted Weapons in Scheme Stage 2 We’ll be expanding crafted weapons in a scheme to give you more variety, flexibility and control over what happens in a match. Deeper Scheme Options More varied options for existing schemes and potentially a few more options for you to play with. New Theme This update will include a new theme, customisation and weapons. You can expect a mix of brand new and classic weapons to make an appearance. FORT MODE Exactly what is says on the tin. We’ve got exciting plans for this and look forward to sharing them with you and getting your input nearer the time.
