Another classic JRPG is coming to Steam

A twist in the tale




It's taken a while, but Japan finally seems to be taking this Steam business seriously. We're seeing more and more Japanese publishers embrace the burgeoning PC platform in a bid to hock some of their more niche titles. This year alone, PC gamers have had the opportunity to sample Koei's MonHun-clone Toukiden, creep-simulator Akiba's Trip and feted roleplayer Trails in the Sky.

The experiment must have paid off as many more titles are on the way, including classic Namco action-RPG Tales of Symphonia. Considered to be the series' finest hour by many of its fans, the PC version will be based on the HD remaster released on PS3 last year.

Namco Bandai announced the game would be making its way to Steam earlier today. It won't be available to buy until next year, but if enough people plunk down the cash for the upcoming PC port of Tales of Zestiria, they will receive the HD remaster as a free pre-order bonus. Now that's what I call a bargain.
