SteamWorld Heist Announced For Nintendo 3DS

Image & Form has proudly announced that their next title is SteamWorld Heist for the Nintendo 3DS. The announcement was made during an interview with Nintendo of Europe and is targeted for a 2015 release.

Unlike the first title, SteamWorld Heist is a stark departure from what the series is known for. Instead of being set in a western, SteamWorld Heist is a space adventure. You play as a pirate and your goal is to survive the harsh universe. Like the prefix suggests, the aim of the game is to recruit better crew members , upgrade your spaceship and survive through the act of heists.

From what I can gather so far from the interview – SteamWorld Heist will be completely different from SteamWorld Dig. Brjánn Sigurgeirsson says that the game has a “turned-based” combat system and the title has to yet be given a genre or simply a mesh of many genre’s in a single title. SteamWorld Heist is a prequel to the first title and there will be a game that will fit in between Dig and Heist say Image & Form.

Image & Form has purposely been discreet about the information, likely wanting to hold back the juicy parts for a later date. However, a teaser trailer has been shared by the company, which you can watch above.
