Shacknews got a message from Valve representatives confirming that the upcoming package, that consists of 3 titles, will be released to the public on October 9th.

The package will consist of Half Life 2: Episode 2, the eagerly awaited sequel to Team Fortress, and the action/puzzle game Portal.

Electronic Arts is distributing the games at retail as a package entitled Half-Life 2: The Orange Box, which also includes the original Half-Life 2 and last year’s Half-Life 2: Episode One. It will sell for $49.99 on PC and $59.99 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

In case you only want to purchase the latest titles, you will have to purchase them through Steam, unless you don’t mind paying for Half Life 2 again as a separate title. But I reckon that the best offer will be the (online) Steam one.
