XCOM 2 Revealed, Will Be Getting Linux Treatment

By - | Views: 17,988
It seems that XCOM 2 has been announced after a teaser campaign by 2K. The AdventFuture.org website 2K brought online last week was now confirmed to be about XCOM and the reveal trailer was published. And best of all, there's a tiny little penguin and a certain feline as a mark of Linux support.

The reveal trailer indicates that the game will likely take place in the future where Earth has been taken over by the aliens and you will be fighting against the Advent Administration, a government of some sort that the aliens have put in control of Earth.

The best part of this trailer is right at the end. Why? Because we can clearly see a Tux and a Feral Interactive logo there. It seems Feral are busy making Linux gaming as awesome as ever. We will be staying in touch with Feral and will report any developments on this front. According to the trailer, we will get to see the game in November this year.

I'm a Linux gamer from Finland. I like reading, long walks on the beach, dying repeatedly in roguelikes and ripping and tearing in FPS games. I also sometimes write code and sometimes that includes hobbyist game development.

Quoting: oldrocker99Uh, what certain feline? Is this something I should already known about :'( ?

Feral. It's synonymous with awesome Linux ports now. :-)

Awesome news, and happy to hear that Feral is doing the port too! I better do some time with Enemy Within first...

Quoting: liamdaweI just hope Feral don't bite off too much. They have a lot of ports in progress.
I wonder the same. Hopefully Feral can offer great support despite all the ports it is doing, otherwise support will be its poorest port yet.
What issues do you have with their existing ports? I haven't run into problems. In fact, their ports, along with Aspyr's, are some of the best we've got.
None. I haven't managed to buy a game ported by Feral yet. I am simply saying that with Feral porting all these games, support may be stretched rather thin.

Thanks for the concern! We've been porting multiple Mac games for years before we entered the land of Penguins so we're used to working on more than a couple of games at once. :)

Are we getting busier on the Linux side of things? Yeah we are but that's a good thing right?

Anyway I better go we have a LOT on and that's just the stuff you all know about ;)

Even more than an Orc does during a Dark Knight defeating a Muton before driving away in a Bugatti Veyron?

Yes.

I just read that this is a "PC exclusive". That means it will be on Linux even before the consoles (if it comes to consoles at all).
