2024 - Nintendo Switch Initially 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.
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.
