SteamWorld Quest Won’t Release Physically At Launch Or At All On 3DS, No Loot Boxes Or Microtransactions
Perhaps one of a many sparkling reveals during yesterday’s Nintendo Indie Highlights presentation was Image Form’s latest project, SteamWorld Quest. Taking a SteamWorld star we already know and love, and steering it in a totally new card-based RPG direction, this one looks like it could be a genuine winner.
Details yesterday were somewhat deceptive in places – intentionally so this early on – though we now know a small bit some-more about a game. First up, a developer took to Twitter to encourage endangered fans who suspected a participation of rob boxes or microtransactions. As Image Form says below, “it’s not that kind of game”. We can hear a common “hoorah” from we poetic readers already.
The studio’s CEO, Brjánn Sigurgeirsson, has also recently sat down with a folks during Miketendo64 for a discuss about a game. In a interview, Brjánn was asked about a intensity of a earthy recover on Switch during launch. Here’s what he had to say:
“Probably not, we never do. That’s for unsentimental reasons – we typically have to work on a diversion right adult to a really final mins before it HAS to be authorized by Nintendo, and a lead times for earthy prolongation is always way, approach longer than that. But we adore earthy editions only as most as a subsequent guy. We’re expected to tell that during some point.”
He also confirms that a diversion started growth roughly immediately after a end of SteamWorld Dig 2 (you can review a full talk here if you’re interested) before responding to a doubt that asked either or not SteamWorld Quest will come to 3DS:
It’s a really good question, and a really good answer is that Quest won’t come to 3DS, unfortunately. We brought SW Dig 2 – and all a others before that, of march – to Nintendo 3DS. We were taken aback by how “well” a Switch had transposed a 3DS in terms of digital sales. It’s protected to contend that nonetheless there are many 3DS owners, a ones that were tech-savvy adequate to buy games from a eShop were also tech-savvy adequate to switch to, well, Nintendo Switch. we lane a sales meticulously, and we wouldn’t trust me if we told we by how manytimes a Switch versions of a games outsell a 3DS versions.
What did we consider of SteamWorld Quest’s proclamation yesterday? Are we looking brazen to this one? Share your thoughts with us below.
