Orange Box titles to be indivdually released for PC

by Richard Snyder on Feb 3, 2008 at 05:20 PM

Agent OrangeElectronic Arts has revealed that it intends to release the PC versions of The Orange Box‘s exclusive titles (Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2 and Portal) as separate titles before March 31, 2008, the last day of EA’s fiscal year.  This is in addition to Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One which are already available as individual titles and Steam, where any part of the Orange Box may be purchased on its own.

Valve’s compilation of new and recent first-person shooters was praised late last year as one of the best values in the game industry dues to its sales during the holiday season, particularly Black Friday.  Portal, the only non-Half-Life

-related game of the pack, especially benefited from its more well-known anchors, becoming a runaway hit.

Neither the exact release date nor the price of the individual titles has been released.  Whether or not The Orange Box will continue to be produced is also unannounced.

I guess this is good news for those who would’ve preferred to face a violent, painful death than possibly double-dip for Half-Life 2 or Episode One, though the value would’ve arguably offset the costs.
