Woah! Holy Sh...Deus Ex: Mankind Divided looks like it may be getting a Linux & SteamOS release which has literally blown my tiny little mind.

There's a rather large bit of info here on SteamDB, where you can see stuff like this:
Quotelaunch/9/config/oslist: linux
launch/9/executable: DeusExMD.sh
launch/9/type: none

And this:
Quote337001/encryptedmanifests/domesticated_mac_linux_sync/encrypted_gid_2: 973A3491BA8BBFE16CAF17F204300E1B


Obviously no word on a release date and this is not confirmed anywhere. It's good supporting evidence though.

Reminder: We have seen Linux pop up on SteamDB before and a port never happened. Just something to keep in mind.

Exciting either way though, as the game is being very well reviewed all around from what I can see. I actually played and finished the one directly before this and loved it. You can bet I will play the crap out of it if/when it's released for us.

About the game
The year is 2029, and mechanically augmented humans have now been deemed outcasts, living a life of complete and total segregation from the rest of society.

Now an experienced covert operative, Adam Jensen is forced to operate in a world that has grown to despise his kind. Armed with a new arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and augmentations, he must choose the right approach, along with who to trust, in order to unravel a vast worldwide conspiracy.

Quoting: liamdaweOh I know what you're saying and I understand it. Just don't read into it too much, like I said Feral reply like that to port requests on FB quite often for lots of different games.

Can you recall what other titles they've done the same with, using this "requestinator" of theirs? It's not that I doubt you - I imagine I've seen it too, but can't recall any actual titles.
I don't have any to hand and don't fancy trawling months of Facebook, as if I did I can tell you now I would have a lot more posts here on GOL for Feral, but I don't consider Feral telling people they are taking port request feedback as news. Of course they are.

We may just be overhyped. :)

This said, you know on what engine Deus Ex is based? Same as Tomb Raider? Vulkan title?

Edit: Got my answer. Glacier Engine II, same as Hitman... Hitman is coming to Linux, by Feral, am I wrong? ;)

Let's hope they port it!

I prefer this one because the others runs on Wine (so no dual-boot needed while we wait them to port 'em all)

Quoting: Comandante oardoI prefer an inhouse port... what engine use this game?

If I remember correctly it's actually a custom engine they developed for this and future Deus Ex games.

edit: It's called the Dawn engine

You are right, it's the Dawn engine which is based on Glacier II. :)

I liked the previous Deus Ex: HR a lot, and decided not to buy this because it's a Windows only game (I planned to wait for a big sale), this announce changes everything. I'm really considering to buy it full price when released for Linux.

I really hope they'll port Human Revolution as well, I played it about halfway through under wine a few years ago but never finished it due to lackluster performance with wine.
It would be great to be able to finish it natively and then play this new Deus Ex game.

As far as I remember, HR was awesome.
