Drakensang: The River of Time NA Release Official, Steam Confirmed

Nearly two full weeks since Radon Labs’ RPG prequel first made its way onto digital download services comes the following press release announcing its availability on GamersGate, Impulse, and… Steam? I still don’t see the game on Valve’s service, but one would assume it coming later today:
