As if it didn’t already have enough publishers on board, Valve has announced a deal with Square Enix to bring their library of PC games to Valve’s download service, Steam.  The partnership will begin on April 9, when The Last Remnant becomes available for download, and the publisher will continue to add its considerable lineup of RPGs and Action RPGs to the service over the following months.

This seems like yet another mutually beneficial deal involving Valve; Valve gets a stellar library of classic RPGs, while Squenix gets some much-desired western exposure for their PC library.  Spokesmen from both sides seem to agree. 

"We are excited to offer the millions of Steam customers online access to Square Enix titles beginning with our major action RPG, THE LAST REMNANT," said John Yamamoto, president and CEO of Square Enix.  He continued, "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."

"Square Enix is a fantastic addition to the Steam lineup," said Jason Holtman, Valve’s director of business development. "We are thrilled that Square Enix chose to bring its diverse portfolio of titles to Steam and know that our customers will be ecstatic to hear this news."

Prices for The Last Remnant and other upcoming offerings are expected soon.  Stay with Gamervision for updates and opinions on this news.
