Newsbrief: Niche publisher Xseed Games announced today that it will expand its business to include Valve's Steam platform, starting with translated PC versions of Nihon Falcom's acclaimed Ys games. So far, the company has revealed two games in its Steam lineup: Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin. The former title originally debuted in North America in 2010 on the PSP, while the latter has yet to see a proper English release. "To start our new publishing arrangement on Steam with two standout entries from Falcom's action-based Ys series, one of which has never been made available in English before, is an ideal situation for us, and we are excited about the future possibilities," said Xseed president Jun Iwasaki. Xseed confirmed that Ys: The Oath in Felghana will debut on steam on March 19, and noted that Ys Origins has no set release window.
