So technically this trailer came out yesterday but I still wanted to share it with everyone. I’m a day behind but that is how it goes sometimes. Check the fact sheet below the trailer for release dates, systems available on, and all that good stuff.
Our very own Jeff Neuenschwander will be reviewing SteamWorld Heist so you can look forward to that coming soon, and I reviewed SteamWorld Dig a while back for anyone who would like to go read it.
Enjoy the trailer and don’t forget to let us know what you think in the comments below.
