There is exactly one place in the open world and 1 quest in the PS which contain these illustrious creatures yet they are the biggest enigma to me. Yes or no, will they be expanded on?
Most likely.
Highly doubtful that they would add them if they did not have a plan for them.
asura personal story spoilers below
they were made by your character if you choose an asura and your first invention is the infinity ball
you end up using it to see your (possible) future, but accidentally open a portal instead, your future self and your friend step out and explain that they are what happens if you kill zojja for holding you back, you become a ruthless dictator and conquer the world with your steam creatures. so they came back to make sure you kill zojja and conquer the world.

Ow dang I’d rather be this dictator. Well, a.net sure dropped the ball there :p I’d love a map of Tyria, coloured pink for my empire and some blue dots here and there for resistance.
We could make some kind of asuran Risk where your goal is to conquer Tyria? :P
And yes, nothing confirmed, but my money is on the steam creatures being developed at some point in the future. They may or may not be related to that asura story (potential future) then, but some kind of alternate universe is certainly possible.

A fractal of the mists maybe?
Which begs the question, are there also Steam Asura and versions of the other races, or not? I would pay good money to see a mechanorn or something.

FIVE color-coded Mechanorns. One in each beast shape, and one who stays just Norn shaped. And then they combine, and smite evildoers with an energy sword. And then they throw down with that Captain Planet Golem that pops in the arena in Metrica Province, but realize that they’re all on the same side and instead team up to kung-fu fight the hidden top-secret 7th Elder Dragon of nondescript cartoon-badguy wickedness.

Go go mechasura. Mighty morphin Mechasura
It would be interesting if the advent of steam creatures occurred because of study/reverse engineering of the ones that came from the future.
Well, maybe more cliche than interesting, but meh.
there is an area in the map called steamspur mountains and its closed now.. and the priory is investigating these strange creatures around that area right now. My guess is that we will invade those mountains at some point later on and thats their rally point like orr is for the undead
The more I think about it, the more I want them to be minions of a hidden 6th/7th Apocryphal Robot Dragon. Possibly FROM THE FUTURE, or if not, at least FROM SPACE or FROM DIMENSION X.
If I were a crazed asura genius living in these times, and I was going to build a doomsday robot, building it as an imitation mechanical Elder Dragon would certainly have style…
…I almost want to give it a Mars Attacks style weakness, where it can be destroyed/disabled with a kind of anti-climactic design flaw.
as an asura whose invention was the infinity ball all I can say is… my bad
