Image & Form shared a fresh batch of screenshots from SteamWorld Heist today. We’ve added them all to our gallery below.

Additionally, we have an update on SteamWorld Heist’s release date. IGN mentioned last week that the title would launch in August, but Image & Form is sticking with a vague “2015” window for now.

So our new release window is “2015”. And it won’t be before fall this year. If you’re disappointed I do feel with you. But even worse would be you purchasing an incomplete game, right? We’d never let you experience that. And like I said above: With the extra time we will make SteamWorld Heist the best turn-based, skill-based strategy game with steampunk robots. In space.

Nexis Games is planning yet another Wii U eShop game. Today, the studio announced “A Cowboy Tale”, which is being designed as a western open world adventure.

Below is the official overview:

The town of Montana Valley was a seeming peaceful place at first glance but unbeknown to many it was a common hideout for some of the most notorious criminals in the West. Montana Valley was composed of corrupt government officials who allowed Outlaws to pay refuge for safe haven within the citys walls.

Players will take on the role of a man who looses everything after his family is murdered. He sets out for revenge with your trusty canine companion.

A Cowboy Tale is due out sometime in 2016. Watch a trailer below.
