It will be delivered through Steam, Valve's digital distribution service. It has also been revealed recently that the game will be episodic, in a similar vein to that of SiN Episodes and Half Life 2 Episodes.
There has been speculation regarding the name "Junction Point" — apparently, this name was used by a cancelled game at Looking Glass Studios, where Spector once worked. According to available descriptions, this game was a "massively multiplayer fantasy role-playing game, changed in midstream to a single-player science-fiction role-playing game." In March 2007, Spector explained the name in an interview:
On July 13, 2007 it was announced that Disney Interactive had acquired Junction Point Studios.
