SteamWorld Heist 2 takes to the sea for long-awaited sequel

SteamWorld Heist is back, making its way down from space and onto the seven seas.

SteamWorld Heist 2 was announced at today's Nintendo Indie World showcase, giving us a taste of what is in store for the series' next outing.

Well, a high-seas adventure, in which players will set sail as Captain Leeway as they endevour "solve the mystery of a deadly water crisis that's causing metal limbs and mechanical hearts to corrode".

Watch on YouTube As with its predecessor, SteamWorld Heist 2 players can expect turn-based ricochet gameplay, so aim those bullets with care.

The sequel will also introduce a new job system, which will provide "a greater level of customisation and endless ways to strategise".
