On August 2, well-known developers of classic action games Treasure and Live Wire, creators of Ender Lilies, announced the Steam rerelease of the 1998 shooter Radiant Silvergun. Almost a year after the Switch port of Radiant Silvergun that shadow dropped on the day of its presentation, this will happen on August 18.
Fans of Treasure may recall that in September of last year, leaks surfaced pertaining to an announcement Treasure was planning to make at the time about the Radiant Silvergun IP. This sparked considerable conjecture as to whether Treasure will reveal a full-fledged sequel or just a straightforward rerelease of Radiant Silvergun . We now know, of course, that the announcement was about the former, as the Switch rerelease was released only a few days after the leaks. Although it was undoubtedly thrilling for Treasure aficionados at the time, the absence of a PC port probably disappointed some. Thankfully, this impending Steam release allows those fans to celebrate.
