It would appear that Worms was a game that Xbox Live was deffinitely interested in incorporating into Xbox Live Arcade. Unfortunately, the development never started for various reasons, but that does not mean it is out of the question. Here is a response from Team 17 when questioned about Worms on Xbox Live Arcade:"Actually, MS did contact us about this last year and there have been forward moving discussions. We do see it as a pivotal and perhaps ideal place for the series to land, a view shared by various XB360 Live Arcade planning folks.
However, for one reason and another (to be honest, mainly our obligations with PSP/DS) the development didn't happen (actually we were on the XBLA dev list around E3 time) but now that we've experienced just how awesome XB Live is on 360, we've resurrected the conversations. I wouldn't expect it anytime shortly (and it won't be a quick port of Armageddon etc) but it is on the agenda.
Also, if it did make it, it'd be a 2D version with a lot of downloadable content - which is something Live Arcade is very cool about.â€
Hopefully we will see Worms on XBL Arcade, but unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like it will be soon.
