SteamWorld Dig 2 to release on Steam with Linux support on September 22nd

By Liam Dawe - 14 Sep 2017 at 7:48 pm UTC

Note down September 22nd in your gaming calendars, as SteamWorld Dig 2 will officially release on Steam with Linux support.

I did announce recently that Linux support will be day-1 and their latest email to me confirms this, as does the Steam store page with "Available: September 22 - Windows, Mac & Linux". Really great to see!

The developer, Image & Form, have been good to Linux gamers with SteamWorld Dig, SteamWorld Heist and now SteamWorld Dig 2. I thought SteamWorld Heist was quite brilliant, so it will be fun to see what they've done here. They claim it's "the best game we’ve ever made", so let's see what happens!

In search of her lost friend, a lone steambot and her unlikely companion must dig deep, gain riches and explore an underworld riddled with danger. But time is running short…

Who's going to be grabbing this one then?

The original Dig didn't do much for me, but I'm currently playing Heist and it's absolutely superb! I'll be looking into this one, for sure. I might revisit the first Dig too since Heist has pretty much blown me away.

SteamWorld Heist was really good, but I never got the first Dig. This one however looks awesome!

The animation looks so smooth! I played the shit out of the first one, so I'm totally going to play the shit out of this one too.

Loved both. The first Dig was good, but Heist was superb. Really looking forward to Dig 2.
