The Metroidvania-style indie adventure SteamWorld Dig 2 is coming to PlayStation 4 and PC, developer Image & Form revealed today on its website. The game was initially announced for Switch and is still slated to arrive on Nintendo`s console first, but it will be followed `within a few days` by versions for the other two platforms.Unveiled earlier this year during Nintendo`s Nindies Showcase, SteamWorld Dig 2 is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed SteamWorld Dig. This installment puts players in control of a steambot named Dorothy who is searching for a long-lost companion. Like the first game, players are armed with a pickaxe and must use it to dig through the environment and navigate the game`s labyrinthine world.The first SteamWorld Dig was originally released on 3DS via the eShop and later ported to PC, PS4, Vita, Xbox One, and Wii U. While Image & Form didn`t confirm if the sequel will also come to dedicated handheld consoles, it didn`t rule out the possibility. The developer explained on its blog, `Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita are still important to us. We won`t talk more about portable versions today, but rest assured we have not forgotten where we came from.`SteamWorld Dig 2 doesn`t have a release date, but Image & Form says the game `is pretty much finished now` and will launch `late summer/early fall.` We called the first SteamWorld Dig `an entertaining underground adventure worth digging into` in our review and awarded the game 7/10.
