With E3 in full effect this week, there’s bound to be news for games not on Sony or Microsoft’s stage that may go under the radar for some people. I’m hoping that this little tidbit doesn’t fly too far under.
Team 17 has revealed that aside from a slew of debuting features that include a new graphical style, vehicles, and buildings to hide in, at this year’s E3 show we now see that there will be weapon crafting in this new entry. Take a look at the trailer:
When I first heard about this feature, I was a bit skeptical, but seeing it in action, I’m now on board. Especially with the added bonus of being able to do so in between turns.

Check out some artwork and gameplay pics below.
Oh, and don’t forget, if you’re a fan of Rocket League (and who isn’t?), there are Worms items available in your garage to deck yourself out in. Here’s a couple:
Team 17 insists that W.M.D. doesn’t mean anything; it just stands for “WMD” as a subtitle. But I think it’s pretty obvious what it stands for. A game about war. Many weapons, including traditional and crazy alike. Large-ish scale battles. A real-world term we already use, still to this day. It’s clear that W.M.D. stands for…
