Worms go splat next week on Vita

Worms Revolution Extreme starts doling out the guns and ammo next week for PlayStation Vita! Hitting PSN on 8th (US) and 9th (EU) for just £11.99/€14.99/$14.99. The game features the usual mix of high-explosive single player and multiplayer antics, plus new modes including (from the press release, as I'm running out the door for lunch):

Extensive single player campaign
Spanning a whopping 47 missions and 25 puzzles to beat and complete. Missions are set amongst a variety of different environment themes including: Sewer, Farmyard, Spooky, Beach, Mars, Funfair or Medieval!

Local and online multiplayer carnage
Worms has always been great with friends, or enemies! With Worms™ Revolution Extreme that’s no different as you’re able to take part in local or online multiplayer battles for up to four players! Choose from one of three game modes: Deathmatch, Forts and Classic and getting firing those Bazookas!

Treasure Mode
New for PS Vita (and PS3) is the cool Cross-Gifting feature, Treasure Mode! This all new mode enables you to link up with your friends who have a PS3 system (or vice versa). You can help each other unlock 10 special gifts using a lock and key system. Meet the requirements in either offline Versus or online battles to receive a key and connect to a friend’s PlayStation 3 system with the corresponding chest to unlock the treasure!

Touch Screen support
We’ve also utilised the PS Vita’s touch screen controls and added in the ability to use the front touch screen to select items and zoom/pan the camera and the back touch pad to control the aiming reticule to aim your weapons.

Cross-Save support
Keep your worms close and mobile using Cross-Save! This cool feature allows players to carry on their PlayStation 3 save game progress on their PS Vita, or vice versa.
