Forget Quake, Worms: The Director's Cut just got a free expansion for the series' 30th anniversary
If you've checked in on Worms creator Andy Davidson sometime in these past few years, you'll know he's been hard at work on Worms: The Director's Cut 1.5, an unofficial but nonetheless Team 17-approved expansion pack for the original strategy-party mashup's Amiga-exclusive sequel. The goods have finally arrived: you can download the whole thing for free now.
It's got over 40 custom levels, 50 new sample packs for your Worms' voices, new teams and terrain types, and so on. It's a collaboration with fan creators and the likes of legendary indie developer Jeff Minter, who was honored via a Llamasoft-themed level in-game. In an interview with Daryl Baxter, Davidson called the expansion a chance to "celebrate the Amiga."
"The expansion pack is a chance for people to enjoy the full package of DC, with all it could do. Rather than closing a chapter, I hope it gives the game a new lease on life," he told Baxter, saying work is underway on a site players can use to share custom levels. "It would be nice for a wider audience to get a chance to play DC. It’s the version of Worms I’m most proud of, as I feel it’s when the gameplay and humour really clicked."
Notably, Director's Cut never made it to modern platforms, but Davidson said in a post on X that the expansion will play nice with emulators if you don't have old hardware lying around. While working with such an old version of Worms—which as you may know, spawned countless sequels and spinoffs all the way through 2025's Apple Arcade-exclusive Worms Across Worlds—was a chance for Davidson to revisit his favorite take on the series, it was also a challenge.
As he told Baxter, "Going back to the original code did prove much more difficult than I imagined. There was a lot I just didn’t remember three decades on, and scrolling through the code I did wonder how I managed it all in the first place!"

Ultrapool ändrar sitt lanseringsdatum
Det har varit full fart kring Ultrapool den senaste tiden, där allt fler spelare har testat demot, snackat om spelet och lagt till det på sin Steam-önskelista. Nu meddelar Offbrand Games och utvecklaren Icedrop Games att de har tvingats ändra lanseringsdatumet.
Det tidigare kommunicerade releasedatumet, 25 augusti, närmar sig, och teamet skriver att man efter otaliga diskussioner och flera möten har behövt ta en ordentlig titt på projektet, tidsplanen och en rad andra faktorer. Resultatet blev att lanseringsdatumet ändras. Teamet bakom Ultrapool skriver följande:
"As we get closer to our previously announced release date of August 25th, we've had to take a serious look at the project, our timeline, and so many other factors. After countless discussions and several meetings, we've decided to change the release date of Ultrapool."
Någon anledning till oro verkar det dock inte finnas. Offbrand Games betonar att spelet är i princip färdigt. Gameplayet sitter, grafikarbetet är klart och alla upplåsbara föremål är färdigabyggda:
"This isn't a decision that we make lightly - the new release date reflects the current status of the project, and our ability to deliver the game we know you all deserve. The gameplay is solid. The art is ready. We have a bunch of cool unlockables and they're all finished. The game is even localized in a dozen languages."
Det nya datumet? Twisten är alltså att Ultrapool inte blir försenat utan det släpps faktiskt en dag tidigare än planerat. Goda nyheter för er som är sugna på lite roguelike-biljard. Det nya releasedatumet är med andra ord 24 augusti, då Ultrapool lanseras till Steam, IOS och Android.
