VALVe annonce assez fièrement que Dark Messiah of Might & Magic sera finalement disponible dans Steam dès sa sortie en octobre. Il devrait coûter le même prix que la version boîte, soit dans les 50 dollars. Ubisoft a longtemps entretenu le mystère au sujet de la dispo de Dark Messiah dans Steam, expliquant que si l'outil de VALVe serait évidemment utilisé pour le mode multi, la distribution online du jeu était un tout autre problème. Visiblement, Ubi et VALVe ont réussi à se mettre d'accord.
