Forget Quake, Worms: The Director's Cut just got a free expansion for the series' 30th anniversary

Worms creator Andy Davidson has released a free expansion pack for the 30th anniversary of Worms: The Director's Cut. This unofficial Team 17-approved addition features over 40 custom levels, 50 new sample packs for voice lines, new teams and terrain types. The project collaborated with fan creators and legendary indie developer Jeff Minter, who earned a Llamasoft-themed level in the game.

Davidson expressed pride in the Director's Cut, stating it showcased the gameplay and humor that clicked best for him. Although the expansion never made it to modern platforms, Davidson assured users it would work well with emulators.
