Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Ubisoft's upcoming Source Engine-powered PC action-RPG from developer Arkane Studios, is easily one of the most highly anticipated titles due out this year, and if you've been following the game at all you know there is good reason to support the hype. With the game's October 24th North American release date looming (October 27th in the UK), Valve has just announced that pre-orders are now available online via Steam for $49.95. Those who pre-order through Steam can pre-load the game and have everything ready to start playing the instant the game's release date arrives.
