Square Enix s The Last Remnant is vanishing from Steam on September 4th

The Last Remnant™

Mitra, yama, qsiti, sovani... These four races exist in one world. A world filled with Remnants — mysterious artifacts from an ancient era. Who created the Remnant? How long ago? And for what purpose? With these questions left unanswered, the Remnants became beneficial tools used for the good of civilization. The world was at peace...

Square Enix have announced that they’re de-listing offbeat RPG The Last Remnant from Steam soon. Mysteriously stating no reason in their announcement, the publisher and developer say the game will be leaving the storefront on September 4th, although existing owners and those who pick it up now will still be able to play the game after removal. I’m sad to see it go. While the game was not without issue (and frightfully opaque at times), I always considered it one of the studio’s more creative and experimental games, and vaguely reminiscent of their SaGa series.
