SteamWorld Heist II launches on August 8

SteamWorld Heist II was announced at the end of today’s Nintendo Indie World event. It will launch on August 8 for the Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC.

The first SteamWorld Heist released back in 2015. The SteamWorld series features multiple genres, with Heist tackling tactics. This will be the seventh game in the SteamWorld series, following last year’s SteamWorld Build.

Heist II is also a tactics game, although it has a more nautical theme this time around. This includes the introduction of naval combat.

The title will be available on Xbox Game Pass.
