Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer revealed on Twitter that a new, unnamed Worms title would be coming to the console along with a version of Nutjitsu , which is already available for Windows Phone Though we don't know much about the Worms game, which is presumably being created by franchise veterans Team 17, Nutjitsu is on the way from Ninjabee, the creator of the Kefling titles on Xbox Live Arcade. The top-down maze game is reminiscent of Pac-Man, though you're in control of a squirrel ninja and tasked with retrieving acorns from evil foxes.

Since being announced at Gamescom last year, the Independent Developers @ Xbox Initiative has already garnered approval from a wide number of developers, all of whom have announced their intent to release games on Xbox One using the program.

The first batch of ID@Xbox titles, including Nutjitsu and Worms, are due to be released sometime in March.
