NCsoft MMO franchises City of Heroes, Guild Wars and Lineage can now be purchased and downloaded via Valve’s Steam platform.

This includes the just released City of Heroes Architect Edition, which enables players to create their own story arcs and missions, while upcoming MMO Aion will also be available from Steam when the title launches this fall in the US and Europe.

“Extending our distribution reach with Steam will allow more gamers the freedom and flexibility to stay updated and engaged with our games and online communities," said David Reid, president of publishing for NCsoft West.

The company also said that Steam will be running special offers on several NCsoft products over the coming weeks.
