Square Enix Joins Steam

by Chris Faylor, Feb 24, 2009 8:40am PST

Titles from Final Fantasy series developer Square Enix will soon begin appearing on Valve's PC digital distribution platform Steam, the two companies announced today.

The Last Remnant on Xbox 360

Coming April 9, the PC version of The Last Remnant will be Square's first Steam release, and will also integrate Steamworks for as-yet-unspecified functionality. The action-RPG arrived on Xbox 360 last fall, with a PlayStation 3 release due later on.

The announcement added that Square will "continue to add to its roster of games on Steam" in North America and Europe, but did not specify any other titles or pricing. Supreme Commander 2, which Square is publishing, represents a likely candidate.

"Square Enix is committed to delivering the best quality titles to PC gamers and distribution on Steam is one of the many steps we are taking to increase accessibility for fans in North America and PAL territories," said Square Enix CEO John Yamamoto.

Oh man, if Square starts releasing PC games...it's over for me.

If FF7 hits Steam, i will definitely buy it and re-live those glorious 70hrs of gameplay.

      phoenix, mime, copy, whatever materia made you cast phoenix if someone died? I don't remember, but I think it was something similar. I beat all the weapons, and phoenix + knights of the round was always key for me I believe.
