The new PC Gamer is being delivered to subscribers in the UK, and in it there's an article on about the rumored SiN sequel that Ritual is working on. The surprise here is that the game is not a retail product, instead Ritual is working together with Valve to release the game in episodic form through Steam. It is also no surprise then that the new SiN is powered by a modified version of the Source engine. Ritual expects to release a new SiN episode every 3 to 4 months, offering about six hours of gameplay at a cost of around $20 per episode. For more info check out PC Gamer, the new US issue (subscribers will be getting it this week) will have a preview of the game as well. Thanks EuroGamer.

In a rare interview with PC Gamer, Ritual CEO Steve Nix said: "We've been talking to Valve about Steam for about four years now, and we've always wanted to get back to the SiN universe.
"We talked to publishers about doing it, but we never felt able to make the product we wanted to make with the next SiN." That is, until the relative freedom offered by Steam came along; something several developers must be seriously looking into at this point.
