Square Enix announced it will discontinue the physical and digital sales of The Last Remnant on Windows PC on September 4 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm UK.
Anyone who has purchased the game before it is delisted will still be able to download the game after September 4.
Here is an overview of the game:
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…or so it seemed. Who was to know such darkness lay in wait?
The powers of the Remnants slowly began to change the world’s balance.
A rift slowly formed between those who ruled and those who obeyed.
This was the dawning of a new era — an era of countless frays that would be brought upon the world by those enslaved by their own lust for power.
A thousand years later, the journey of one young man begins.

I guess this is the last remnant of The Last Remnant.
Ba dum tis!
Eyyy...
I came in too late to make this joke :(
Might just pick it up now. Why delist the game? Why not just let the game seep in digital sales over the course of life? Its noting going to kill anyone.
Usually in cases like this, there's some kind of a licensing issue. I don't know if there's one here, but since this seems to make so little sense otherwise, it doesn't seem too unlikely.
It's no secret: Windows backwards compatibility isn't what it used to be. Every three months now Microsoft pushes a new beta quality version that seems to break something. It costs money to constantly test and fix up old code.
You can see it if you try to install a Windows XP era game on Windows 10, may work - probably won't.
Yeah I was going to guess it was a licensing issue, but even than, this is Square Enix not some small Indy Dev. I just purchased the game so I might as well try it out, it was only $9. I wouldn't be surprised that they will re-release the game as a remaster.
I wonder why?
I never did finish that game on steam. I was near the end as well.
But when is the PS3 version coming out???
Never, hopefully
Oh right, there's no PS3 version. Now I really have to consider whether to get the PC version while I can... I probably won't though, unless there's a last-moment sale.
So I can still buy this before right?
Article suggests you can and still download it after it's been taken down from sale.
Ganon i think the article means if you already own the game you can still download it but once its delisted you cannot buy it anymore as it wont exist in the shop.
Wait so they are removing the digital game from steam as well? OR is this just on Windows Live or something? Why would you ever remove digital sales for an offline game, makes no sense.
Probably a licensing issue.
Agreed, but other publishers have done it too. Wolfenstein (2009) is no longer available to buy digitally anywhere. If you bought it beforehand, though, it's still downloadable.
I have it on both. The PC version is far superior. They actually fixed quite a few of the issues the 360 version had.
