Silent Hill: Homecoming, PC version Steam only

chautemoc | August 24, 2008 | News | PC

PC gamers who don't own a PS3 or 360 and really want that new Silent Hill title will only be able to buy it via Steam, Konami says. Makes a lot of sense though -- PC games make companies less money, so it could be more profitable to cut costs with digital distribution.

Following up on some reports coming out of Leipzig, the company informs us that the time frame for the North American release is still September, and Europe will apparently need to wait until later in '08.

We have also been informed that Valve's Steam digital distribution service is "the only method of distribution" for Silent Hill: Homecoming on the PC. Konami currently has no plans for a retail box version, which certainly is an interesting strategy.
