From the Press Release
Ankama is making WAKFU, the massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG), even easier for players to enjoy by releasing the game today on STEAM. Effective today in the US, all players can log on to STEAM and explore the artistically vibrant, feature rich online world. Additionally, players of the client version will be treated to a revamped WAKFU that is completely subscription-free.
"We are proud to bring WAKFU on STEAM and give the opportunity to more and more players to discover this universe. We are starting with English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese and Thai players but more will follow soon" declares Olivier Comte, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer at Ankama.
For WAKFU's release on STEAM, the game's tutorial has been entirely reworked in order to provide a better game introduction experience. Also, participants from the WAKFU closed beta will receive the "Paravortal" decoration as a reward for their contribution. Designed from Valve "Portal" famous game, this reward is the perfect item to symbolize the partnership between both companies.

WAKFU is a tactical MMORPG game developed by Ankama Group where players encounter vast possibilities to impact the game world with tactical, strategic and political decisions. A unique political system allows players to create laws and initiate conflicts, shaping the environment with game-altering effects. Decisions also have a dramatic effect on the truly vibrant, living ecosystem of WAKFU. If too many animals are killed without a chance to reproduce, or too many plants harvested without resowing, they'll disappear forever.
In addition to the MMORPG launching on STEAM, players now also have access to the WAKFU anime through Netflix since Sept. 15. These releases will bring the WAKFU universe to a worldwide audience.
