Capcom sign with Steam
DMC, Lost Planet, Onimusha and Puzzle Fighter mooted
Japanese publisher Capcom will release a raft of their upcoming titles via the Steam content delivery system for the PC, thanks to a new deal signed with Valve today.
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, Onimusha 3, Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will all hit Steam soon as part of the new agreement, while future PC titles are also promised.
Capcom believe the deal will see them reach new audiences and improve their market share. "Steam is the right place for us to go with our titles. Valve has created a huge installed base of gamers who naturally fit with the profiles of the titles that Capcom develops," enthused executive vice president Mark Beaumont.
Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition will land later this week, with Onimusha 3 set to follow in a few weeks time. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition will then land on June 26th with Super Puzzle Fighter II 'later' this year. The latter will also launch on the Xbox Live Arcade and the PS3 Store.
Activision, Eidos and Empire count among the developers presently releasing titles via Steam. More soon.
