Monday Night Combat Releasing On Steam This January

But if you pre-order now, you can start playing as early as this Thursday.

The clock is ticking on Monday Night Combat's Xbox Live Arcade exclusivity. Creator Uber Entertainment announced a PC version of the title last night that'll see a release via Steam this January 17. 

According to Uber, this version will sport a few cool features, including "spit-shined" visuals, dedicated server support, and eventually editor support at some point later in January. This version will also launch with the recently released "Spunky Cola Special" DLC, which added a couple of new maps, adjusted some pre-existing map problems, and carried some much-needed balance tweaks and fixes. 
 
  

  

MNC's Steam page is offering all pre-purchaser's a ten percent discount towards a purchase, bringing the game price tag down to an agreeable $13.49. But in addition to saving some cash, pre-purchasers will also get access to the game's PC beta that kicks off this Thursday and runs until the game's release.

If you didn't already know, MNC is a fantastic, class-based arena shooter. The character balance is solid, the shooting is good, and there's a surprising amount of depth and variety in the game. Give our review of the Xbox 360 version a read if you need more of a heads up.
