A brand new game in Image & Form's SteamWorld universe is now in development, the company has revealed.
The news actually comes the studio's Twitter account, where the team has put out the call for any talented 2D artists who might fancy working on the new title. Naturally, it stops short of giving away too much.
In a later tweet, Image & Form said, "Even though we'd love to tell you more, this is all we have at the moment! We don't know when it'll be announced or released but we are sure you'll love it once it is! Thanks for your patience!"
Switch already has SteamWorld Dig, SteamWorld Dig 2, SteamWorld Heist: Ultimate Edition, and SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech available to buy from the eShop, and judging by the quality of those entries we'd sure love to see even more.
Image & Form actually gave away 1,000 copies of SteamWorld games last week.
Would you be up for another SteamWorld game? What form would you like it to take? Share your wildest thoughts with us below.

Can't wait!!! Personally I hope it's a sequel to SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech.
Great news, these games are quality!
Not gonna lie, Steam World Dig 2 was absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately it was way too short.
Love this news!
Can't wait to see anything they do!
High quality games, at least the ones I've played; I still haven't tried SteamWorld Quest yet. XD I can't wait to see what they churn out next!
Awesome news! Please be a Heist sequel!!!
@Ogbert I'd love that too, honestly. All the SteamWorld games are really great but Heist is definitely my favourite of the lot. Something completely new is always welcome too though.
@Ogbert @BenAV Heist is my favorite SW game as well — but knowing I&G’s penchant for switching genres, I half-expect something like SteamWorld Basketball or SteamWorld: Modern Warfare.
Kidding aside — no surprise that they’re working on a new game. If not a Heist sequel, I’d guess something in the 2D realm, extending the lore yet again — but who knows with these guys.
SteamWorld Quest is the only nonessential game in this series, and it is still very good.
I am looking forward to whatever they do next!
Biggest wish would be a SteamWorld Dig 3. I prefer to think of that as the “mainline” series and then continue to tell side stories with different genres as it goes on.
I just love this universe they’ve created
Putting out hope for Dig 3......
Dig 3D would be interesting.
Dig 3 Dig 3 Dig 3 Dig 3
Can't wait, Maybe I should apply as an intern...
I'll take Dig 3 please
Would love a sequel to Heist!
Heist 2, if they announce steam world heist 2 after xcom 2 recently and galaxy today..... it's all too good to be true!! X
Hopefully Heist 2. I'd settle for Dig 3, but not quest 2
Dreamworld heist is probably one of my favourite games of all time, if they added more randomly generated elements and a bit of roguelike features I could see myself playing it forever!! Heist 1 is still the only game I've ever purchased on 3 different systems and felt it was worth every penny each time
Ha ha... Dreamworld
I went into Quest expecting this to be some new magical planet that the Cowbots colonized at some point after Heist. It's sort of tied in to Heist in that I'm fairly sure it's Seabrass reading the story to his kid (the one thats eaten by a whale?)
Quest was still a fun game to play through, and I'll probably still log a couple more hours into trying to clear out the last battle arena. But I was honestly looking forward to spending more time in the same universe that's been building up these last few games. Hopefully this next project will scratch that itch.
Dig 3 yes please x x x x
Great news! Been playing Steamworld Quest lately and so far it’s pretty good.
SteamWorld Heist 2, please?
I'm really hoping that it's Dig 3, where you can choose to play in co-op with Rusty and Dorothy (I could see single player as switching between both on the fly).
Dig 3 with multiple world's to explore, considering the last one blew up.
I'd love for them to make a Metroid game so much. I love these guys.
A new Steamworld game is just as awesome news, though!
I've enjoyed all the SteamWorld games so far, but Heist is definently the best. I can't count how many times I was on the edge of my seat, even with well-equipped characters. Heist 2 would be my first pick.
Steamworld: GTA please. Love this company, they innovate like Nintendo and keep things fresh.
@Desrever Quest felt like a missed opportunity. They said they would do an RPG and I think we all wanted it to be set in the universe like Heist or Dig :/
Oh GOD, if they're making Heist 2, I will lose my mind! Loved the first; besides a new Paper Mario (preferably one that...doesn't suck), this is one of my most wanted franchise updates. 2021: C'mon!
