SteamWorld series developer Image & Form – now part of the Thunderful Group – has confirmed that "several" new games are being developed for the franchise.
This isn't the first time the studio has revealed plans to launch more SteamWorld games (the team was hiring for new talent to work on an unannounced SteamWorld game in March last year), but this fresh promise of multiple games has us very intrigued indeed.
The tease comes alongside news that the Image & Form social media accounts will be treated to a spot of rebranding, becoming the home of SteamWorld-specific content.
Thankfully, despite The Gunk being exclusive to Xbox and Windows, CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson previously told us that the Switch (and future Nintendo consoles) are "natural parts" of the studio's SteamWorld plans.
Looking forward to getting your hands on more SteamWorld games? Would you prefer sequels to the games you've already played, or fresh takes on the series? Share your thoughts with us below.

Really love the SteamWorld games. All of them are great in their own way and I look forward to seeing what new ideas they can bring to the series. Heist is my favourite of them so far.
i've been meaning to play some of these, just got a ps5 tho so i'm gonna be playing some more yakuza 0 and the judgement remaster rn
Awesome news! I love the Dig games and the others are good too.
Can't wait to play the next one on Switch.
Steamworld Quest was disappointing. It looked great but compared to Slay The Spire there just weren't that many interesting deck building options. I think the limit on deck size really hurt what could have been an amazing game.
I'd love a new Steamworld Heist though
Thats great news! Hopefully this means we won't have to pick between Dig 3 or Heist 2, and we just get a little of everything.
@beuiz I'm so grateful that I played through Steamworld Quest before I played Slay the Spire. If I did it the other way around, I would have constantly felt like Quest was falling short.
i hope dig 3. i didn't like a lot heist and quest
They wanted to remake Ice Climber for Nintendo if possible, and i wonder how that turned out.
They are the right developer for it.
I want more games set after the events of Steamworld Dig 2. I'd be happy with any type of gameplay they choose!!
I love the SteamWorld games, each in their own way. Heist is my favorite and I look forward that sequel the most.
Enjoyed all the SteamWorld games. I even liked Quest. I hope it one day gets a sequel. Next game should be Dig 3 though.
I’ve only played the Dig games but absolutely loved them. I replayed 2 and 100%’d it, which is the only game this gen I’ve done that for so far. Obviously hoping for Dig 3 sometime soonish.
Steamworld games are usually quite good, and the presentation/shared world aspect is really nice and quite unique. Looking forward to what they put out.
The first Steamworld Dig was great and I loved Heist, had them on Wii U and 3DS respectively.
@Desrever I played it after playing Slay the Spire but still loved it. It felt different enough, being more of a story-driven game as opposed to a roguelite, that I wasn't really comparing the two.
Wouldn't it be cool if they made a sports game, like golf or soccer?
Enjoyed what I played of the first Dig. Still got the second in the queue. Heist keeps going on sale for silly money so will probably end up picking that up.
@geox30 At this point I'm certain that anything this group makes will be cool.
Massive openspace sequel to Steamworld Heist please!
The Digs were good fun, and I freaking loved Heist. Haven't waded through Quest yet.
Wasn't there a tower defense too? Not my jam, but how was that?
@beuiz I felt the same way. The battles felt really grindy and the pace very slow after playing Spire. I gave Quest a few tries as I wanted so much to like it - presentation is amazing and the characters are fun. But the deck building is too slow and limited for me.
I've played all Steamworld games minus the original TD game and Steamworld Quest. It's a very fun, unique, interconnected universe, one I hope keeps expanding!
I loved the dig games. I'd love to see a new one, but iirc the dig planet exploded in the last game.
Love all the SW games! They’re so full of charm and dad humor, and the gameplay loops are always so good.
Selfishly hoping for a sequel to Heist. That game is so unique and such an underrated gem. IMHO it’s up there as one of the best modern indies and turn-based strategy games.
I've only played the two 'Dig' games. But they are soooooo good.
Still need to play Quest, but Dig1&2 and Heist are some of my favorite indie games. I look forward to what they have in-store for the series.
Dig 3! Just finished 2 this week on switch. Great game!
@Chozo I figure Dig 3 will have Rusty and Dorothy gameplay. And I hope it's mining across different planets.
would love sequels and fresh spin-offs!
I'll be there, waiting!
