SteamWorld Heist 2 is out later this week and is the long-awaited follow-up to Image and Form’s 2015 turn-based side-scrolling strategy. A launch trailer is now available, highlighting the various accolades from critics. Check it out below.

While the first game had a space setting, SteamWorld Heist 2 opts for a vibrant, ocean-filled Shard. Unfortunately, something – or someone – is poisoning the water, causing Steambots to rust from its consumption. It’s up to the unlikely Captain Quincy Leeway to investigate while dealing with some confidence issues.

The tactical turn-based gameplay remains the same, with allies manually aiming their shots for maximum damage. However, you can now change a crewmate’s Job by equipping different weapons, mixing and matching abilities to devastating effect. If that weren’t enough, an array of new hats is also available.

SteamWorld Heist 2 will be available for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch on August 8th.
