A demo is also out right now
TheSteamWorldteam is setting its sights on the big city.SteamWorld Buildis the newest game set in theSteamWorldsetting, arriving in 2023 for PC and consoles.
Announced during today’sSteamWorld Telegraph,SteamWorld Buildis a city builder set in the same universe that’s tied together all of Thunderful’s steam-powered games.
The new city builder will see you become the architect of your own mining town, excavating the ground beneath and building a town up top. The overall goal is to dig deeper, unearth the goodies, and ultimately escape the planet.
It looks similar to games likeDungeon KeeperorDwarf Fortress, where you’re balancing building a world and digging deeper with the impending dangers surrounding you. There are caves to explore, five differentSteamWorld-inspired maps with secrets, and it will be controllable with either controller or mouse and keyboard.
If you want to try it out for yourself, you’re able to do so right now too. A demo forSteamWorld Buildislive right nowas part of the Steam Base Builder Fest, running Jan. 23 through Jan. 30, so you can give this game a shot.
The wide, wide world of Steam
Even if city builders aren’t your style, there’s moreSteamWorldgames on the way too. While the team wouldn’t go into specifics, Thunderful’s Brjann Sigurgeirsson confirms there are fourSteamWorldgames currently in development. The team didn’t discuss what those games were, but hey, that’s a lot ofSteamWorld.
As forSteamWorld Build, no firm date has been set yet but it is planned for both PC and console sometime this year. With a demo already available, I’m personally hoping that’s sooner rather than later, as I could go for a good city builder with the wonderful theming thatSteamWorldfrequently gets right.
