The physical boxed edition of SteamWorld Collection is coming to retail in October, published by Rising Star Games

Rising Star Games today announced it has the honour of publishing SteamWorld Collection, from acclaimed developer Image & Form, in October.

Featuring two critically-applauded, award-winning and massive-scoring games – SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Heist – in the same package for the very first time, SteamWorld Collection is published by Rising Star Games on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system in USA, Canada, South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Middle East. Rising Star Games also publishes the title on Wii U™ in USA, Canada and South America.

SteamWorld Collection features 2013’s seminal SteamWorld Dig, and this year’s smash hit SteamWorld Heist, presented together as a double-dose of SteamWorld satisfaction.

Drill down into a platform game mining adventure full of secrets, treasure and terrors in SteamWorld Dig, and discover a world of steam-driven robots, inspired by Western and Steampunk themes. SteamWorld Heist on the other hand offers turn-based strategy with a twist: manually aim the guns of your robots, allowing for insane skill shots and bullet-bouncing action. Board, loot and shoot your way through enemy spaceships and upgrade your recruits with unique abilities, weapons and, of course, stylish hats!
