Shown as part of Thunderful's showcase was the next SteamWorld game (from Image & Form, the makers of The Gunk and, well, lots of SteamWorld games you should play if you missed them.) This one is a full-3D adventure (as is Gunk,) which is a mixed blessing for those who loved their 2D output, but take a look at The Gunk if you're curious how well they do with a 3D engine.

Only a teaser shown so far for SteamWorld Headhunter; no platforms announced.

I'll try anything they make.

This will probably be decent, but personally I just want Steamworld Dig 3..

THANK YOU! I almost buried hidden text in the OP about how this reminded me a bit of Oddworld's first second full-3D game. Steamworld Headhunter has got some of that similar vibe in the hinted-at character and quirky mechanics. Which is a good thing. (My guess is that you're a lone-gunman type with some type of head-swapping mechanic where you collect bodies or swap bodies to change skills?)

They were fast in making the SteamWorlds, so maybe they'll go back to it in the future, but they've got both Headhunter and The Gunk in development at the same time, so I would doubt anything else could happen for a while until those are done? Image&Form seem to still be a mostly-small studio (based in Gothenburg, Sweden,) so yeah, empathy, but this is what's on the plate now.

I liked Steamworld Dig and Steamworld Heist.
But I have no idea of what kind of game this one will be. So I can't say I'm excited for this.
