Square Enix has introduced that JRPG The Last Remnant, which was launched virtually ten years in the past in April 2009, will get delisted from Steam tomorrow and faraway from sale. Physical gross sales can even be stopped, and presumably console variations will probably be eliminated too.
Fortunately, very like different games which have been delisted from Steam, anybody who owns The Last Remnant and has it of their Steam library will nonetheless be capable to set up and play after tomorrow. No one else will be capable to purchase it, nonetheless.

They introduced all this on the game’s Steam page, however the greater query is why The Last Remnant is being delisted within the first place.

It was made by builders who’d labored on the SaGa and Final Fantasy games, however didn’t make much of a splash.
Nevertheless, the game’s Steam reviews stand at ‘Very Positive,’ so it clearly has a faithful viewers. If you wish to be a part of that viewers, even in the event you don’t plan on taking part in The Last Remnant instantly, we propose you choose up the game now – as a result of by this time tomorrow it’ll be gone eternally.
