Appearing today in the Steampowered news section, is a press release detailing the release date for SiN Episode 1: Emergence. Not one for reading press releases? Fair enough, you need only read the rest of this news piece for your information!
Set to be released in stores on May 9, 2006, the game (developed primarily by Ritual Entertainment and published by EA) will hit store shelves in Europe, North America, Austrailia, and New Zealand. The game will have a retail price of $19.95 and is also slated for release via the Steam content delivery system.
For those extremely eager to get a jump on the preloading phase for the Steam release, it turns out that you can start right this very second. (Surprised me to see this when logging into Steam just now.)
Update: Those who preorder now will be able to play the original SiN 1 and SiN 1 Multiplayer immediately. Alfred Reynolds also informed the HLDS mailing list of the availability of the SiN 1 dedicated server.[break="full press release"]
