Team17, the guys responsible for the crazy war focused Worms franchise has released the first in a series of five developer diaries for Worms Revolution.

This one sees lead designer Kevin Carthew talk us through the long history of the Worms series right up to the point of Revolution. There’s plenty of gameplay footage to be seen of the new title in action showing off some of the new ideas introduced as well as a brand new art style. One such focus is on water, which rather than just acting as an out of bounds/instant kill area of the map, will actually be used in the form of weapons too. Water bombs, water cannons and even water air strikes can be used to drown or wash away the opposition.

The game will hit consoles and PC as a downloable title in Q3 2012.
