Worms W.M.D will get the promised cross-platform online play in early 2017, more updates to come too

Team17 decided to postpone the cross-platform online play update for Worms W.M.D [Steam, Official Site] to ensure it all goes smoothly. They also have more planned!

Writing on Steam they said this:

QuoteTo ensure a smooth release of cross platform play between PC, Mac and Linux we’ve decided to push this out after Christmas. This was decided as the last thing we want is to push out this update and have it break multiplayer whilst everyone is away on holiday.

We’re excited to get this out and in the wild so don’t expect to have to wait long once things get rolling again in January.

On top of that they're planning to also add in throughout 2017:
* Ranked play will be relaunched
* AI in Online Multiplayer
* "FORT MODE"
* Hat Editor – Steam Workshop (tux hats anyone?)
* Building Editor – Steam Workshop
* Increased level cap and rewards Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
