Things have been a bit quiet for the SteamWorld series as SteamWorld Quest, the last entry in the franchise, debuted in 2019. However, things will begin to pick up next year.
SteamWorld Headhunter, a third-person action-adventure game, was revealed a few months ago. Apparently, this one is on track to launch in 2023.

The last SteamWorld game, SteamWorld Quest, launched just over two years ago. Image & Form has been keeping quiet about the series since, but that doesn’t mean there’s more to come – quite far from it actually.
Over on Twitter, Image & Form confirmed that “several new SteamWorld games are in the making”. The company wrote:

Image & Form has been closely associated with Nintendo thanks to the SteamWorld series. Recently though, the studio unveiled the Xbox and PC-exclusive Gunk. While that game doesn’t appear to be releasing on Switch, the good news is that Image & Form is far from finished with its Nintendo support.
Speaking with Kotaku, Image & Form CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson teased more SteamWorld games to come. He also indicated that Switch and future Nintendo consoles will be included in the studio’s plans.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Image & Form will soon be announcing the next entry in the “SteamWorld” series.
In an interview with Prankster101 Productions, lead programmer Olle Hakannson mentioned that a reveal should be taking place in “maybe a month” or so. The discussion took place at GDC Europe, so the announcement should only be a few weeks away.
It’s also worth mentioning that Hakannson teased other projects from Image & Form as well. The studio is planning “at least one game for every platform, like a specific game for each platform.”
Check out some excerpts from the interview below. You’ll also find the full talk here.

Image & Form: name for next SteamWorld game coming soon, why Dig 2 isn’t being made first
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Image & Form should have news about the next SteamWorld game in the near future. CEO Brjánn Sigurgeirsson recently told CONSULGAMER that the project’s name will be revealed “quite soon”.
Sigurgeirsson also commented on why we’re not seeing SteamWorld Dig 2 next as opposed to a completely separate entry in the series. You can find all of his comments below.
I’m fortunate; I know what’s next for my team. Since December last year we’ve been working very hard on the next SteamWorld title. It’s not the next SteamWorld Dig game, it’s the next game that we’re putting out is in the SteamWorld universe. It’s the same type of characters that are the protagonists, they’re steam-driven robots, but the setting and the gameplay will be very different from SteamWorld Dig. The reason why we’re doing that instead of making SteamWorld Dig 2 is that we think that this game that we’re working on is just so much more excellent a game than I think we could make of SteamWorld Dig 2. Dig 2 will be fantastic as well, it will be bigger in every direction compared to Dig, and it has to be, since the only gripe that people have with SteamWorld Dig is that it’s kind of on the short side, but in between, before SteamWorld Dig 2 we are making this fantastic game, which is called SteamWorld “something,” we are going to announce the name quite soon, and we will keep you in the loop on that of course.

Image & Form also reconfirmed that the title will be “huge” in comparison to SteamWorld Dig.
@Cheesemeister3k One fact we've already shared is that the new SW game is going to be HUGE in comparison to Dig. So in one way you're right.
