Natural Selection 2 coming to Steam

[Sliver]

​

[br]In a recent blog post on the NS2 site, Charlie Cleveland has confirmed that Natural Selection 2 is indeed coming to Steam.[br]

We have confirmed with Valve that pre-orders will transfer properly to Steam! As you know, we have been funded largely by preorders although many of you have been patiently waiting to hear if pre-orders would let you download and play the game on Steam later. The answer is YES![br]Pre-ordering now gives immediate access to NS2 mapping tools and artwork as well as early access to the alpha or beta when ready. We are now testing our engine with a small number of players and will expand that to everyone that has pre-ordered the Special Edition shortly.

[br]You can see the full news post, along with new Natural Selection 2 media, here.

Hell yeah! They are letting people, in the order of who preordered, test the alpha build of the engine. I KNOW I'm up there somewhere.

Any ETA on when we'll be able to activate it on Steam?

 

[JossiRossi]

I don't believe they have a date set on the alpha testing yet, so the date is probably unknown even to them.

This announcement makes winning the game in that contest a while back all the more awesome though. I'm glad I'll have access to it over steam.

 

[ríomhaire]

Haha. Same here. Overgrowth too.

****ing finally they announce this. Good.

Pre-ordered Special Edition at long last.

 

[Dekstar]

Pre-ordered the SE ages ago. can't wait to start the testing.

Pre-ordered the special edition that day it was announced - can't wait! I spent more time playing NS than any other game, for years, and still play now and then. One of the most exciting and tense FPS ever.
