Thunderful says no style is off the desk for brand spanking new SteamWorld video games

Thunderful has mentioned that no style is off the desk for future SteamWorld video games.

In an interview with Xbox Enlargement Cross, SteamWorld franchise director Brjann Sigurgeirsson mentioned Thunderful desires to maintain taking the sequence in new instructions, though it isn’t ruling out extra direct sequels to current video games both.

Because the sequence launched in 2010, 5 video games masking a wide range of genres have been launched: SteamWorld Tower Protection, SteamWorld Dig, SteamWorld Heist, SteamWorld Dig 2 and SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech.

There are at present a number of unannounced SteamWorld titles in improvement alongside SteamWorld Headhunter, which was introduced in November 2021, and SteamWorld Construct, which was revealed final month.

“Is there any style that we really feel yeah, let’s not go there? No, not likely,” Sigurgeirsson instructed Xbox Enlargement Cross, though he added that he finds horror video games tough to abdomen, so making a scary sport isn’t high of his record.

“I actually love the concept that SteamWorld is open in each course. I imply, now it’s a card sport, it’s a city builder slash a dungeon crawler, there are two Dig video games, there’s a turn-based techniques sport, there’s a tower defence sport. It’s like, wouldn’t it’s nice to have the ability to shock with each, or each different announcement? For me that simply sounds so good.

“Think about the choice, that we had been locked into this style and we had been simply making sequels. How boring wouldn’t it be to speak to us each time? ‘So inform us, SteamWorld Dig 35, how is it completely different from quantity 34?’. I believe that is infinitely higher to do, so we’re not afraid of any style, we’re able to tackle something that is smart.”

That doesn’t imply that extra sequels throughout the similar style, like a possible SteamWorld Dig 3, are being dominated out, Sigurgeirsson added.

“We’ve made one sequel already like SteamWorld Dig 2. I believe we perform the identical method because the gamers. We sit and play these video games and we take pleasure in enjoying them lots, and we all the time preserve issues like, what would occur after [in a follow-up].

“I imply, sequeling is all the time an choice I believe, and it’s nice whether it is as a result of if we create a sport that utterly tanks then we’re not going to make a sequel as a result of we’re most likely not going to make our a reimbursement and we’ve irritated folks as soon as with that sport, why do it twice. However with video games that folks like, for certain, there’s nothing negating sequels.”

Developed by inside Thunderful studio The Station, SteamWorld Construct is billed as “Anno meets Dungeon Keeper”.

Based on Thunderful: “As is custom with the franchise, SteamWorld Construct takes a well-known style and provides it a novel twist, delivering a multi-level city-building expertise that duties you with establishing a thriving city above floor, whereas mining sources and coping with monsters under.”

A Steam demo is out there now forward of the sport’s launch later this 12 months for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Collection X/S, Xbox One and Nintendo Change.
