bitComposer Games announces that Jagged Alliance Online has re-launched on Steam as a single-player and multiplayer game with more features and less play-to-win than it's web-based predecessor. They offer a release trailer and an online PvP trailer showing off the game, as well as two premium editions of the free-to-play game, a Shadow Edition and an Ivan Edition, each of which is 10% off during the launch sale. Here's the deal:

Eschborn, June 6, 2013: bitComposer Games, gamigo AG, and Cliffhanger Productions are bringing Jagged Alliance Online back to life on Steam as a single player and free multiplayer game.

Jagged Alliance Online enables the player to take on missions all over the world in PvP battles or in missions in order to improve his or her team, get the best equipment, and put together the toughest squad of mercenaries in the world. The new 3D graphics, the tried and true Jagged Alliance game mechanics for tactical turn-based battles, over 40 mercenaries, and over 500 different weapons and other equipment make Jagged Alliance Online the best that turn-based strategy has to offer.

All players can battle others in challenging PvP duels or work together with their alliances to conquer warzones in PvE. Jagged Alliance Online also includes an optional CAMPAIGN PACK, which allows players to immerse themselves in a high quality single player world, experiencing dozens of challenging missions across the globe. The CAMPAIGN PACK works like a normal download game: buy it once, and play it forever with no further purchase necessary.

The entire game is available ‘fair to play’ on Steam. This means that every piece of equipment in the game can be attained just by playing, without in-game premium currency: everything can be found or earned in game. The mercenary squad is of course fully operational in both game modes!
