World War Z + Snowrunner (aka Toxic Commando)

[Deil Zombie]

Considering that the store page with whishlisting and the closed beta is only available on that other storefront, it's safe to assume we will only be able to play Toxic Commando on Steam in 2025 at best. or is there a hope?

Saber's new game, looks like a road movie WWZ with a sprinkle of Snowrunner inspired by 80's. Revealed yesterday.

and during the announcement it only said PC. It's not on GOG, so where else will they put it up? ubisoft?

When I first heard the name from my friend I thought Toxic Crusaders and was confused why John Carpenter was making a video game about that but while researching that I found out that there is also a Toxic Crusader beat em' up that is coming out in the future as well so 2 for 1 on that.

It seems to be Epic Exclusive.

wwzed was egs exclusive initially as well

It will absolutely be exclusive to EGS at first. Like WWZ, they will be hopeful for a double dip on Steam after it's been out a while on EGS. If it dropped on Steam at release I would be very, very shocked. Saber wants to cash in on the lower commissions first. Saber loves exclusivity and double dipping.

tbh all devs should take the money hat from tim sweeny if they're still offering lol

edit: I suppose embracer group would be the one gobbling up the cash thou

Embracer Group no longer owns Saber Interactive. Whatever happens will be done at Saber's discretion.

Honestly we can't blame devs for turning to EGS to get a bigger profit from their sales because that means they can invest more back into their companies. However, a lot of companies out there only do it for exclusivity so that they can double dip customers on other stores at a later date. It's usually not with the intention to put more back into the company. They know people will buy from EGS, Microsoft or whatever other exclusive platform and then on other stores years later, especially Steam, because that's where a vast amount of PC gamers place their loyalties.

In a recent post, they said it will be exclusive to the Epic game store :(
