Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45, a stand-alone game based on the popular World War II mod for Unreal Tournament 2004, is set for release on Valve's Steam service.
Developed by Tripwire Interactive, Red Orchestra lets players choose from 28 infantry weapons or crew one of 14 different fully-realised vehicles on the Russian Front between 1941-45. The game is built on the Unreal Engine 2.5 and offers more than a dozen maps based on real-world locations.
"Digital content delivery is the future of gaming, and we are very excited to be a part of that future," said Tripwire Interactive President John Gibson. "Working with Valve to release the game over Steam allows Tripwire to remain independent and keep control of the games content and development. This allows Tripwire to continue to offer our fans the same uncompromising level of realism, authenticity, and gameplay they have come to expect from Red Orchestra while continuing to innovate and push the boundaries of the military FPS and simulation genres."
The company has yet to announce a Steam release date for Red Orchestra.
