Team 17 announced yesterday on the PlayStation blog that Worms 2: Armageddon, their 2010 PSN title will be receiving a total of four DLC packs in the course of this month. The developer claims to have designed these packs so as to ‘appeal to players of all tastes.’ It was last year in November that the game received its first DLC in the form of the Battle Pack.
These packs will be released in batches of two, the first one being scheduled for August, 9. This first set would include the Puzzle pack and the Forts pack. The former one is particularly meant for gamers who enjoy the puzzle-cracking part of the game. The Forts pack is for those who like to make use of their their heavy weapon skills in fort games.
“Each of the DLC packs draw inspiration from the most popular elements of the game, adding new single-player puzzle missions, forts and fort-based missions, time-based racing missions, and reworked retro missions with really cool retro-modern visuals respectively. Each pack also has a new landscape theme, 12 new Trophies in each pack, and even more customization elements into the mix, with themed hats, speech-banks and gravestones making up the content!,” shared, Mark Baldwin, Community Manager of Team17 on the blog.
The second batch would be released on August 23 and will feature the Time Attack pack which lets gamers race against the clock using ninja ropes and jet-packs. Also the same week, developers would release the Retro pack that will look to engage gamers in elements which were characteristic of the earlier games in the series.
All the four DLC packs for Worms 2: Armageddon will be priced at 4.99 USD (approx Rs. 223) each. Developers have also announced that PS Plus members will be receiving special discounts on these packs.
