Thunderful’s deep dive trailer for SteamWorld Heist 2 is live, showcasing how the turn-based tactical RPG has evolved over its predecessor. The side-scrolling perspective, cover-based shooting and precise aiming remain as you ricochet shots creatively to overcome enemies. Check it out below.
SteamWorld Heist 2 Announced, Launches August 8th for Consoles and PC
17.04.2024 - 15:13 / gamingbolt.com / Game Pass
It’s not Hollow Knight: Silksong, but today’s Indie World Showcase ended on a high note with the announcement of SteamWorld Heist 2. As a follow-up to Image and Form Games’ 2016 turn-based strategy, the sequel takes to the high seas with a more pirate-themed setting. Check out the first trailer below.
As Captain Leeway, players lead their crew through Carribea, likely engaging in some plunder and heists but also investigating an “enigmatic menace.” The original’s gameplay is intact, as you focus on positioning and ricocheting shots in environments to slay enemies behind cover. However, there’s now naval combat and an overworld to sail through with their ship.
The Job system allows characters to equip any weapon and can be mixed with their inherent abilities to create powerful new play styles. Of course, as before, there are plenty of hats to collect and customize your crew.
SteamWorld Heist 2 launches on August 8th for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch. It’s also out on day one for Game Pass.
