A surprise leak on X reveals Worms Galactic Tactics, a new entry in the iconic Worms franchise developed by Absolutely Games under the internal codename Project Arrakis. The leak, shared by @intercelluar, includes official artwork and early details about the game's direction.

Unlike traditional Worms titles that used a 2D side-scrolling perspective, Worms Galactic Tactics adopts a 3D isometric view reminiscent of tactical strategy games like XCOM. Early leaks suggest the game will feature squads of five players per team and may incorporate roguelike mechanics alongside the series' signature destructible environments.

Absolutely Games, founded in 2019, previously collaborated with Team17 on Classified: France '44, another strategy title. That partnership hints at more complex gameplay systems for Galactic Tactics. While no release date has been announced, the leak generates significant buzz ahead of an official reveal.
