Image & Form is returning to its critically acclaimed SteamWorld universe with SteamWorld Headhunter, a new co-operative action-adventure that sees the series moving into 3D for the very first time. But that's not all! The developer has also announced a release date for its gloopy third-person sci-fi adventure, The Gunk, which will be heading to Xbox One, Xbox One Series X/S, and PC on 16th December.
SteamWorld Headhunter, to deal with the newcomer first, is the sixth entry in Image & Form's celebrated SteamWorld series - following on from SteamWorld Tower Defense, SteamWorld Dig, SteamWorld Heist, SteamWorld Dig 2, and SteamWorld Quest - and once again looks to offer a radical shake-up for the series.
Details are, admittedly, pretty scarce right now (there isn't even mention of platforms), but Image & Form's description of Headhunter as a "stylised and colourful, third-person co-op action adventure with a head-popping twist", is certainly a considerable departure from previous games in the enthusiastically genre-hopping series. You'll find some delightfully atmospheric - if not especially illuminating - robotic duelling in the announcement trailer below.
