River City Ransom: Underground is Leaving Steam Soon

Bad news for those who love River City Ransom: Underground. It looks like the game is leaving Steam now.

This update was revealed through a post by developer Conatus Creative. The studio shared that the game is being removed from being sold on Steam as a result of "the expiration of a licensing agreement." The delisting process it seems is already underway.

For those who already own the game, there's nothing to worry to about. This is because there's no change and the game remains available in their respective Steam Library.

There's no date mentioned in the post but over on Steam, a special promotion being offered for River City Ransom: Underground until January 6. That said, the game is available at 85% off until that date. There’s also a bundle offered that comes with a soundtrack.
