Strategy Sequel SteamWorld Heist 2 Sets Sail on PS5, PS4 This August | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

SteamWorld Heist, the beloved turn-based tactical shooter, is getting a sequel. Launching on PS5, PS4, and basically everything else on 8th August 2024, SteamWorld Heist 2 is a direct follow-up to the original, swapping out spaceships for a sea-faring adventure but retaining the ricochet-based strategy fans know and love.

You play as Captain Leeway, and must sail the seas, gather a ragtag crew of bots, and solve the mystery of a harmful water crisis. As well as the turn-based, ricochet-heavy tactical gameplay, new for the sequel is a job system that lets you outfit your crew with unique abilities. Between missions, you'll sail your submarine around a world map, engaging in real-time battles against enemy vessels.

It looks to be another charming adventure in the SteamWorld universe. Are you excited about SteamWorld Heist 2? Let us know in the comments section below.

This is not the “one more announcement” I was hoping for.

Very nice. I loved the first one, though played it on the switch. Am I allowed to say that here? Checks for rocks

first one was kinda relaxing for me; I don't know why. I loved it.

Loved the first one a ton so I’ll be there day one but idk how I feel about going from space to the sea

Yes! Absolutely love this series and especially Heist

I love to hear about others' gaming habits. I want to throw rocks at those who come here and brag about DAY ONE on game pass or already played it on game pass like it's some sort of Gotcha for us lowly PS fans. But Nintendo is the GOAT and the Switch is the best console they have ever made and nobody will
