UPDATE [NOTICE: Title Back on Steam]

[Spike Chunsoft]

Way of the Samurai 3 was temporarily unavailable for purchase as the publishing rights changed hands from Ghostlight to Spike Chunsoft.
We're excited to announce that the app transfer has cleared and the game is once again available!
Thank you for your patience and understanding during the down time.

Will it be a new app ID or will it remain the same one?

We’re working to make the title available for purchase ASAP.
In the meantime, the forums will stay up, and if you own the title, you’ll still have access to it in your Steam library.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

So, that means no change of appid?

New updated trailer suggests they're just changing ownership of existing page.

I was just about to ask why this game was no longer available to purchase, I guess I found my answer. Hopefully it will be purchasable sooner rather than later.

Cheers for the post!

Regarding the AppID: The AppID will stay the same (along with pretty much everything else, aside from the copyright).

Will the removed Japanese subtitles be added due to the transfer?

Why would it change?

Would be nice if this change of hands means we might finally get the plus version.

Need to hurry up I didn't even know this was on Steam trying to buy immediately

Would be cool, but I have my doubts about them exerting any further effort with this title. It will probably be just your standard relisting with an altered splashscreen at launch to reflect legal changes.

My life won't be complete until I get the Plus version or a Way of the Samurai 5!
Devs, you really going to condemn me to dying an unfulfilled life?!

I hope you improve the port as well

Oh yeah, the Plus versions were exclusive to Japan.

Will it also return to GoG?
