We know how passionate Image & Form are when it comes to the SteamWorld series, with the developer releasing its latest entry at the end of last month. So, what's next? Nobody is really sure, but what we do know is the Swedish-based company has been preparing "something special" for next week. The developer made this comment over on its Twitter account while promoting the current game sale taking place on the Switch eShop:
The Image & Form social media page wasn't willing to reveal anything when asked by fans what it could be. Some are thinking it might be a new game announcement, while others thought it is perhaps a plan to port the card battler SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech to more platforms.
Are you expecting anything in particular? Have you tried out the latest SteamWorld game yet? Tell us down in the comments.

Everything Image & Form does is something special.
I'll be keeping my expectations low for whatever 'something special' could mean, but I'm certainly curious.
Dig 3... Please be Dig 3... On my 3rd play through of Dig 2 at moment. Amazing game.
It is a crying shame that the only SteamWorld game I have played so far is SteamWorld Dig. I really feel like I am missing out sometimes. Life just gets too busy though.
Love their stuff, I would love to see them do an overhead Zelda style adventure game. I'd have to say that Steamworld Dig 2 is my favorite or theirs so far.
I would like a new SteamWorld title and it could be a new Tower Defense title or a combination of Heist and Dig, a platformer with looting, running and gunning with some space flight and battles thrown in topped off with RPG elements. Whatever it is hopefully it will be their high standard of awesome, I have really enjoyed their games up to this point.
@Dpullam You should definitely try to find time for the others. I thought that Dig 2 was a really big improvement over Dig. Heist is my favourite of the lot and Quest a close 2nd.
Maybe it is a physical version announcement. Hopefully a full collection of the SteamWorld games on one cartridge. I think the WiiU had one so not totally out there. Right now only Dig 2 as physical release on Switch.
@Beermonkey Hey what is your avatar?
@Toshiro_Baloney It's the Streets of Rage 4 gif they released a while back. Love the series and can't wait for this one.
Image and Form: games that aren’t in my backlog....because I actually finish them!
@Beermonkey SoR4 is my most anticipated game, more than any 1st party Nintendo franchise (well, matched with Pikmin)
I am really enjoying SteamWorld Quest, probably my favorite SteamWorld game, although, they're all really good.
I hope it's a release date for the physical version of SteamWorld Quest.
It's most likely an official announcement of SteamWorld Quest's release on other platforms. Which is probably good, since it doesn't seem to be performing too well in the eShop charts at the moment.
I don't think this game sold as well as their older games. They should port it to other platform sooner than later.
What in the world were they thinking? A card based RPG? There's a lack of addictiveness like Dig or Heist, the gameplay is slow and luck based unlike the older games.
watch it be steamworld physical bundle
@NinChocolate Never thought I would see the year a new Toejam and Earl and SoR4 come out. Great time to be alive!
I didn't think I would get into SteamWorld Quest but it is one of my favorite games of the year.
Heist 2...
Heist 2...
Heist 2...
Please... Heist 2!
I don't think it would be a new game announcement this soon. Perhaps reveal some DLC for quest or yeah, maybe the reveal for other platforms...but if it is a new game...Heist 2 plz.
Hope a sale or Heist 2.
@nintendolie I actually wouldn't say the gameplay is all that luck based, with the right builds/decks you can force additional card draws and play extra cards each turn which pretty much negates the element of luck.
I wouldn't hold my breath for a new game announcement when their new one hasn't been ported to any other console yet.
It's probably either port dates, or STEAMWORLD TOWER DEFENSE HD 1.5 REMIX BIRTH BY SLEEP for nintendo SWITCH starring Dante from the Devil May Cry series
I want steamworld dig 3
@Dpullam try dig2. It's beautiful
Would buy Heist 2 the second it released!
I would love Dig 3, however, Dig 2 was already perfect.
Definitely betting on a physical copy of quest. I met the developers last month at a convention and when I asked they said to stay tuned
Mobile port of Quest. Image & Form did pretty well with the Heist port, so Quest ending up on mobile is pretty much a given.
This isn’t a slur by the way - Heist on mobile was how I stumbled across the series. It’s just as good on a high-definition touchscreen and, as much as I loved SteamWorld Dig 2, probably still my favourite.
Prob a free DLC character for their newest game since their new game went a bit under the radar
Hope it’s a new game that doesn’t suck like Quest did. So disappointed with them for Quest.
@BenAV @Auenegheps Perhaps I will have to take your advice guys! The SteamWorld games have quite a good reputation!
Ha! The Swedish Chef cooking up something new.
I just LOVE companies that have aren't afraid of and/or above making fun of themselves. And they make great games as well, so this announcement has most certainly piqued my interest.
Another 3rd party Amiibo please
I'm thinking perhaps an upcoming Nindie Direct is what they're hinting at? It would make sense to have one before E3's Direct.
Didn't they promise a physical release for Steamworld Quest shortly after the release of the digital version? Maybe that's it. Been holding off on this game because I'm waiting for the physical version.
Steam World 3... D?! A 3D Steamworld platformer
Got both dig 2 and heist, loving both
Its either dlc, port or heist 2
Fingers crossed for heist 2
Completed the game, so here is hoping for DLC
Have enjoyed everything they have made. Though the length of the games are fairly short and priced accordingly I'd like to seem them make bigger and longer games.
