Image & Form has confirmed plans to create a sequel to SteamWorld Dig. However, that’s not the next entry in the overall “SteamWorld” series.

On Twitter, Image & Form said that a brand new SteamWorld game will be released next. After this, the “Dig” sequel will begin development.

Image & Form doesn’t have any immediate plans to bring SteamWorld Dig to Wii U. The studio explained on Twitter that porting the game over from the 3DS or PC versions would be “quite tough”.

Anthill is Image & Form’s strategy game first released in 2011. Just last year, the studio brought the game over to Android-supported devices.

Could Anthill head to the 3DS as well? Image & Form won’t rule out the possibility, and the company did note on Twitter that it would “like to see Anthill on more platforms”. With enough fan interest, it’s something that may happen.

Image & Form has previously discussed bringing SteamWorld Dig to Wii U, but the studio seems more intent on pursuing the possibility, based on new comments made to ONM.

Co-founder Brjann Sigurgeirsson told the publication that the team is “definitely” looking into making SteamWorld a reality on Nintendo’s home platform. Sigurgeirsson also said that “Wii U would work very well for the SteamWorld series”.

Sigurgeirsson’s comments in full:

“The Wii U would work very well for the SteamWorld series, so it’s definitely one of the things that we’re looking into – we’re fortunate that we left mobile at the right time and got embraced by Nintendo when it happened.”

As reported earlier today, SteamWorld Dig will be getting a 33% discount in Europe. The same sale is also planned for North America, Image & Form has confirmed. The 33% drop should be going live on December 26.

Image & Form is leaving the door open to the possibility of bringing SteamWorld Dig to Wii U.

Although CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson won’t make any commitments, he acknowledged to 4CR that fans have made requests to see the game ported over to Nintendo’s console. Keep in mind that the team hasn’t given the idea too much thought.

Sigurgeirsson said:

It feels like weโ€™re considering and reassessing our options every week. Jools at Renegade Kid, Rhod at Dakko Dakko and many other indie devs are very brave to stand at the frontline for the Wii U, and we havenโ€™t had time to give it very much thought yet โ€“ weโ€™ve been up over our ears with the Steam version and its release. When we announced the Steam version I got a tweet from a Nintendo fan saying โ€œGreat! Now you have HD graphics, porting to Wii U canโ€™t take more than an afternoon!โ€ It takes a bit longer than thatโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ™‚ Weโ€™ll see where we go. With an acclaimed game in your back pocket, the future is full of interesting choices.
