Making the jump from the Xbox Live Arcade to PC, two of Ska Studios' games, Charlie Murder and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, will be ported to the Steam store on Friday.

A long time in the making since their 2013 and 2011 release dates on the Xbox 360, respectively, the two titles again resurfaced in April when a Steam page for the two titles popped up with the release date listed as "pretty dang soon," the "soon" part apparently meaning quite soon. Ska Studios tweeted the news out on Wednesday and discussed with fans some future possibilities concerning where else the games might be eventually listed.

Though excited about the release, there were soon replies from eager fans about whether or not the games would also be ported to the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One at a later date. "Let's seeee how this does on Steam first xD," the studio responded when asked about bringing Charlie Murder to the PlayStation 4, but added that a port to the Xbox One didn't seem possible due to a compatibility issue with the system.

The more recent of the two games, Charlie Murder, puts players in control of a punk rock band and sets them off on a equally punk adventure with some RPG brawler elements and a loot system to upgrade and stylize your team with outfits and tattoos. The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is a follow-up to the 2009 title The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai and incorporates combo-based combat and some pretty vicious weapons as players plow through the campaign and arcade challenges. These games move quick, with plenty of blood, violence, and screen-shaking hits throughout the PVP, co-op, and campaign romps.

While each of the titles will be listed at just under $10, Ska Studios also announced that it will be offering a first-time discount, the "Skallection" bundle, to receive 15 percent off of their three Steam games. The third game mentioned in the discount was one already available on Steam called Salt and Sanctuary, a title that follows in the brutal gameplay the studio leans towards. If you've already picked up Salt and Sanctuary the discounted offer for the other two titles will still stand.
