Orange Box gets separated out
EA plan individual releases
The games that comprise Valve's best-selling Orange Box compilation will be sold separately by publisher Electronic Arts, the US giant has confirmed this week.
The top-value collection was released on the PC and Xbox 360 last October, and reached the PS3 a month or so later. Half-Life 2, Episodes One and Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2 was all bundled together in the release, which was also sold online for the PC, via Steam.
While these individual titles have also been sold solo via Steam since launch, EA have now revealed plans to sell the games separately off-line, too.
EA big wig John Ricitiello confirmed the plan, revealing that solo boxed copies of the Orange Box games are on the way from the publisher. "We are unbundling Orange Box and releasing separate PC SKUs, Half Life 2: Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress," the CEO revealed to investors.
More on this as we get it.
