According to the latest issue of PC Gamer (UK), Ritual's SiN 2 will be released over Steam and will use Valve's Source engine. Furthermore, the game will be released in "episodic" content format with each episode being released every 3 or 4 months with about 6 hours of gameplay per episode at a cost of $15 to $20 per episode.
The first episode is set to be released on Steam this Winter, but it's not yet known whether the game will also be released in boxed form.
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.
