Four SteamWorld games are in development, including a citybuilder

And a new turn-based strategy-shooter

Thunderful are working on four new SteamWorld games simultaneously. Alongside thepreviously announced third-person action game SteamWorld Headhunter, they’re also making a citybuilding game, a turn-based tactical shooter, and a puzzle game. Three of them are aiming for release next year.

We’ve typically loved every SteamWorld game, even as they’ve leapt from genre to genre, from turn-based tactics inSteamWorld Heist, card battler inSteamWorld Quest, and platformer inSteamWorld Dig 2. I am particularly excited about a citybuilder in this universe, even if it’s not clear what involvement the original developers at Image & Form will have with it.
