About Worms
This play order covers every major Worms release, from the 1995 original through the 3D era and back to 2D with Worms W.M.D. Matches are standalone battles with no shared story, so release order is the play order, and Armageddon or W.M.D are the classic starting points.
Good to know
Ports, handheld versions and compilations are not listed separately. Worms: Galactic Tactics was announced in August 2026 and is currently expected in 2027.
