ArmA 3 to be a Steamworks title
Military game to release with Steam as DRM service
Bohemia Interactive has revealed that Valve’s Steam will be required to play Arma 3.
The company cites a difficult phase in development, which also involved the recent incident in Greece. These setbacks drove the studio to re-evaluate the project, and the decision for Steam is one of the steps to set Arma 3 back on track for a 2013 release.
“As an independent developer, we’re constantly evaluating the way we develop, distribute and publish games. Valve made tremendous improvements to their system, which made the installation/update process much more user-friendly - for both developers and customers", adds Bohemia Interactive’s founder and CEO, Marek Španěl.
Bohemia Interactive is also exploring the further integration of Steamworks functionality, which would enable game features that are impossible to develop in-house, on time.
ArmA 3 is currently slated for a 2013 release on PC.
