There’s been a recent trend in video gaming, with downloadable releases combining to create a retail disc release. Usually it’s to give them a new life with an audience which maybe isn’t able to download large files due to internet restrictions.
The latest in this venture is Deadliest Warrior: Ancient Combat from 345 Games. Coming to the 360 and PS3, it will combine both of the series’ downloadable titles onto one disc.
Deadliest Warrior: Ancient Combat will launch in North America this December, for $29.99.
