Or in the immortal words of Vanessa Williams:<\/p>\n<p><em>And now we&#8217;re standing face to face<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Isn&#8217;t this world a crazy place<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Just when I thought our chance had passed<\/em><br \/>\n<em>You go and save the best for last&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Behemoth has confirmed that the game will be released on Steam sometime later this year, featuring integrated voice chat, Steam Cloud support, achievements, and both online <em>and<\/em> local multiplayer.
