From IGN: "Thunderful Games has four separate SteamWorld games in development with three expected to launch next year.
The company revealed during its latest financial results that SteamWorld Headhunter - a third person action adventure that was revealed in November - is just one of four different genres the SteamWorld franchise is exploring. It is expected to launch in 2023, along with two others.
Those two, codenamed 'Strawberry' and 'Coffee', will be followed in 2024 by 'Caramel'. Are all listed as "SteamWorld IP" games, with Strawberry and Coffee actually listed before Headhunter in Thunderful's development timeline."
Coolest news in a while ! Steamworld games are always the best! Steamwrold Dig,Dig 2, Steamworld Quest and Steamworld Heist are all fabulous games !!
SteamWorld Dig is an incredible game that changed the way metroidvanias could work. Check out Jason Capp's Nindie Spotlight on why this is such an important game in the indie world.
* Liked it, but I wish they made a mode slightly more like Miner Dig Deep had in where you would just dig and keep seeing how far you could go and what tools to unlock.
It was less metroid and more just see how long you could survive or last or how much progress you could make.
I do like this game though.
