Today indie developer Image & Form Games announced that SteamWorld Dig 2 is heading to PS4 and PS Vita platforms this month with cross-buy and a PlayStation 4 gameplay trailer below!
Here are some new things to expect from SteamWorld Dig 2 straight from Community Manager Julius Guldbog, to quote:
I’m happy to confirm that SteamWorld Dig 2 is coming to PlayStation4 and PlayStation Vita later this month on September 26. The game will be yours for $19.99 and will be cross-buy on both consoles.
So what’s new this time around? Well, we’ve got a ton of new surprises in store. Below I’ve listed five of the most exciting ones. Let’s dig in!
1. A New Protagonist
Rusty has disappeared. In SWD2, Dorothy McCrank is here to fill his boots. She’s gone from a sidelined sidekick in the original SteamWorld Dig to an awesome hero able to save the day. It’s up to Dorothy (and you) to accept the challenge and embark on an epic underground adventure.
2. New Companions
You won’t dig into adventure on your own this time. The game is host to a wonderful cast of characters with their own personalities, quirks and purposes. Some will help you more actively on your journey, while some will do their best to get in your way. We’ll let you figure out exactly who these people are on your own...
3. New Upgrades
The upgrades played a big role in the original Dig. This time they’re bigger, better and and will take you to places you’ve never been before. Besides carving your way through the earth with your trusty pickaxe, you will literally fly through caves with the Jet Engine and grab faraway treasure with the new Hookshot. Expect even more awesome gear as the game progresses.
4. A Big, Sprawling World To Explore
SteamWorld Dig 2 is huge and full of treasure, traps and dangers. While the original was short and sweet, SWD2 will be a much longer experience. Expect at least 10 hours of gameplay time, and even more if you plan to explore every corner of the world and find every dirty little secret...
5. A New Musical Backdrop
El Huervo of Hotline Miami fame is composing the game’s soundtrack. It’s got a new vibe compared to previous SteamWorld soundtracks and we think you’re gonna dig it!
PlayStation 4 developer Komefai recently released a PS4 Remote Play Interceptor powered by EasyHook alongside a PS4 Macro automation utility written in C# with some background on his Blog for creating a PS4 bot and demonstration videos from his YouTube Channel below.
