Team Jolly Roger has revealed the release date for their strategic deep-space artillery game, called Worbital, and they've got a trailer to prove it. Touted as a spiritual successor to Worms, Worbital is coming to Steam on Jan. 31st, blending cosmic insanity with long range artillery fire. Tell me that sentence isn't totally badass? You can't, because it IS.
In the vein of Jolly Roger's last title, Interplanetary, Worbital has you flinging artillery across the solar system in a real-time strategy affair that celebrates gleeful destruction and complete space chaos. You'll take command of planets that are absolutely bristling with gigantic guns and lasers, exotic fortifications like planetary shields, and even maniacal doomsday weapons, which looks as cool as it sounds. The battles move fast and the planets move faster, as the battlefields shift throughout star systems, so foes can be a light-year away one second, and all up in your mug the next. Worbital sports both online and local multiplayer, plus a skirmish mode where you can sharpen your space skills against the AI.
Here's what the fine people at Jolly Roger had to say:
"Worbital is almost here, finally! Exciting times! We couldn't have done it without our wonderful Discord community, which grew beyond our expectations during the Worbital beta. Their feedback has been priceless in helping us create a game that we hope can stand proud among its venerable artillery-strategy ancestors. We want Worbital to be the kind of wacky, fun game that people gather around and enjoy playing together."
Worbital is also planned to be released for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch later this year.
