Image & Form is still nailing down the specifics for SteamWorld Dig’s cross-buy promotion. Those who have purchased the game on 3DS may be entitled to a discount for the Wii U version, which launches at the end of this month.

Update: European date is now confirmed and SteamWorld Dig should be out in North America around the same time:



The European Wii U eShop is currently listing SteamWorld Dig for release on August 28. We’re trying to follow up with Image & Form to verify that the date is accurate.


August 28 would definitely make sense. We just heard a short while ago that Image & Form is targeting SteamWorld Dig’s Wii U launch for late August.

SteamWorld Dig’s Wii U version is launching towards the end of this month, developer Image & Form confirmed on Twitter. This is actually earlier than the studio planned.

The 3DS version of SteamWorld Dig does not include achievements. But for the PlayStation and Steam release, developer Image & Form added them in.

One fan asked the studio if achievements is something that would be possible for the upcoming Wii U version. Image & Form’s Julius Guldbog responded by stating that he can’t promise anything but added, “I’ll see what we can do”.

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.
