Was just checking on the game's status since I've been waiting for this one for a while and noticed this message on the dev's twitter from less than an hour ago:

So, good news for non-Switch owners. I really wish it had a release date though. Hopefully the extra platforms announcement will come with one

It should be noted that regarding a multiplatform release, this isn't exactly new news, as they had this bit on their FAQ for the game when it was announced:

For which platforms will it be released?

SteamWorld Dig 2 will debut on Nintendo Switch. Stay tuned for more platform announcements in the near future. We’re exploring the possibilities of a multiplatform release on day one. Stay tuned!

But hopefully this means they were able to do day one release date for all platforms after all

 

[Kouriozan]

Kinda obvious since that is what happened to the first game (3DS first), but good to know!

 

[mabec]

Day 0 on steam. First game was so good

 

[Hektor]

Will buy

Happened also with Steamworld Heist

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Did they say it was time exclusive on the nindies direct or did they just not have an "exclusively" title card on it.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Heist wasn't for me but I'll grab this on switch if it's timed exclusive. The first one was AMAZING.
Got it on ps+ or probably wouldn't have noticed it otherwise.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Will buy on the PS4, the first game was awesome, but severely lacked in content and replayability.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Unsurprising, though I still want it on the Switch.

As I said in the OP I believe the game was intended to be multiplatform from the start due to that question and answer they had on the game's website.

I don't think the Nindies direct had any sort of indication of exclusivity status for any of the games. I think that's a very un-Nintendo-like thing to do to begin with

 

[PhantomThief]

Sweet! First game was a lot of fun

 

[WonderzL]

The second game looks more Metroid-y. I love it

 

[sense]

Loved the first one on vita so hope this comes to it.

 

[HassanJamal]

Excellent news, the first one was a pretty fun game.

 

[Kiro]

Definitely will play if/when it comes to PS+, but didn't love the first enough to spend money on this.

 

[Cincaid]

Awesome, I'll get it on PSN then!

 

[timberger]

Unsurprising, but great news all the same. Wonder if it'll release on Vita like the others.

Pretty sure some of them at least were mentioned as being timed exclusive at least. Can't recall which though...

 

[oti]

I didn't expect otherwise. This is a perfect Switch game so I know for which platform I'm going to buy it.

I think Runner 3 is exclusive. No idea though. Sounds kinda odd to be honest.

Runner 3 is only console exclusive.

 

[Tohsaka]

Figured, I'll get it when the PS4 version is out.

 

[Naar]

They said it's coming to steam back in April

I more mean we knew it wasn't exclusive to begin with, I'm just asking if they only had a trailer in that direct. (Also several of the indie games were timed-exclusives, Runner 3 being an actual console exclusive)

Oh. Yeah I believe it was only a trailer in that direct.

Super officially confirmed for Steam and PS4 now. Also confirmed to NOT be coming to the WiiU, in case anyone had their hopes on that. They're interested in portable versions but not confirming anything.

New release window of late summer or early fall.

 

[Equanimity]

I really enjoyed the first game. I hope this is at least as good, I'm in day one.

 

[bede-x]

Super officially confirmed for Steam and PS4 now.

In for a Steam version as long as it's as good as the first one.
