We learned that SteamWorld Heist would finally be getting a sequel during the April 2024 Indie World showcase.
Indie World Showcase 4.17.2024 — Nintendo SwitchInitially released on 3DS in 2015, SteamWorld Heist was a 2D turn-based strategy game set within Thunderful’s broader SteamWorld universe.SteamWorld Heist 2, which comes out on August 8, swaps the sci-fi space setting for a more grounded pirate-themed one where players are looking to solve a crisis that has made the water of the planet corrode its metallic inhabitants. Along the adventure, players will need to recruit new party members with unique abilities before fighting with them in 2D turn-based shootouts. There’s also overworld travel and combat in a submarine now.
This wasn’t the only notable reveal at Nintendo’s latest Indie World Showcase. Funnily enough, another pirate-themed sequel, Cat Quest 3, will be coming out on August 8 alongside SteamWorld Heist 2. Several other games got release dates. Little Kitty, Big City launches on May 9, Wario Land-inspired platformer Antonblast is out on November 12, and Annapurna Interactive’s eerie puzzle game Lorelei and the Laser Eyes will be released on May 16. Ports of Apple Arcade games like TMNT: Splintered Fate and Stitch were also revealed, showing that Nintendo Switch is still a system developers are eager to port their games to.
When it comes to brand new game announcements, Atari unveiled a reimagining of Yars’ Revenge titled Yars Rising. Some of the stuff shown off at the Indie World is also coming out today. That includes Switch ports of Sticky Business and Stitch, as well as demos for Antonblast and Europa.
SteamWorld Heist 2 comes out on August 8.

This Nintendo Indie Showcase debut had platformer fans calling it a Pizza Tower clone, but they're both inspired by the same 2001 GBA classic
Pizza Tower fans have been waiting for the well-loved PC indie platformer to make the jump to consoles, but this week's Nintendo Indie Showcase once again failed to deliver that announcement. Instead, we saw a very similar-looking game called Antonblast - and while some elements of the fandom were quick to call it a "Pizza Tower clone," both games owe their inspiration to a much older Nintendo classic.
