News:: Two of Ska Studios' older games finally get ported to Steam tomorrow

Come tomorrow, two of Ska Studios' most well-known titles will no longer be confined to a single platform. Charlie Murder and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile are currently only available on Xbox 360, as they were both fairly high-profile titles on Xbox Live Arcade. On May 12, fans of the developer will finally be able to enjoy these games on PC.

Ports of both Charlie Murder and Dishwasher: Vampire Smile are set to hit Steam tomorrow. We reported in April that these two games had Steam pages set up for them that indicated they'd launch "pretty dang soon." As it turns out, that cheeky vaguity ended up being about five weeks.

Ska tells us that these are "pretty straightforward port(s)," seemingly meaning that there aren't any major alterations. However, Ska does note that both games have keyboard support and controller remapping. Some small changes have been made like art fixes on icons in Vampire Smile.

Both Charlie Murder and Vampire Smile will be priced at $10. However, there will be a bundle called "The Skallection" that features the two new ports plus 2016's Salt and Sanctuary for a 15 percent discount. The cost of that bundle should be about $32. It also seems like anyone who already owns Salt and Sanctuary will get the discount when purchasing the ports.
