Worms Armageddon is a strategy game developed by UK-based company, Team17. It was originally developed as an expansion pack for Worms 2, but as the project grew larger in scale, it was developed to be its own game.

A few years later, however, they recruited Deadcode, a talented programmer who showed interest in the game, and even provided a 3rd-party solution (Silkworm) to make the game compatible with Windows 2000/XP. Deadcode has been writing software updates since then. He was later joined by CyberShadow, in September 2006.

Worms Armageddon was released on Steam for a limited time as the preorder bonus of Worms Revolution on September 13, 2012, and then re-released as a separate title on March 19, 2013.

The game was released on GOG.com DRM-free on October 6, 2016.
