Good news strategy game and open source lovers, as 0 A.D. alpha 20 is now available and has a number of new features.

Wyrmsun is an open source RTS game that released on Steam a while back, and it's now switched to being free.

Oh yes! Darkest Dungeon is now an instant buy for many I'm sure as it has arrived on Linux in Beta form. Lots of people have been waiting for this gothic roguelike turn-based RPG.

The 0 A.D. developers sent word out today that the packaging for alpha 20 has begun, and release candidate testing will happen soon. I've done some highlights of what's to come!

Prison Architect has been updated once again, and it features a bunch of performance improvements. One thing I've been meaning to write about is the 3D mode that was a secret, but people finally found it.

I mentioned before that Knights and Merchants was coming back to Linux (after originally being ported by LGP). It is now officially available on Steam for Linux after a short beta, and it uses Wine.

Good news war fans, as Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces and Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault are now available on SteamOS & Linux.

Great news for everyone waiting on Darkest Dungeon, as the developers have told us to look out for something next week.

Looks like Linux is about to get its first Stardock Entertainment published game in the form of Offworld Trading Company.

Good news alien hunting fans, XCOM 2 has been patched for Linux and the Anarchy’s Children DLC is now enabled for us.

Team17 really are getting more Linux friendly, and the latest game in the Worms series title 'Worms W.M.D' will be heading to Linux at release.

Hyped about Stellaris? Me too, I've been yearning for a really good and expansive space game like it and PC Gamer have a good gameplay video now up. Paradox also did a video with "Quill18".

XCOM 2 Anarchy’s Children DLC released today for Windows, but it has been delayed at the last minute by Feral Interactive.

The newest entry in the World War 2 strategy series has a concrete(ish) release date. Armchair generals and digital despots can expect to launch their campaigns of world domination on June 6th.

In their GDC presentation for this year, Paradox Development Studios has set a release date for their non-historical game. Those who dream of expanding their civilization among the stars can expect the game to be available May 9th.

Faeria is truly one not to miss out on, not only is it a good answer to not having Hearthstone on Linux, but it's also healing my wounds over Scrolls never officially coming to Linux and then getting shut down. The hook in Faeria is that you build the board as you play.

Battle of Empires: 1914-1918 is a pretty good looking real time strategy game from Great War Team and Publisher Best Way Soft. It has now managed to find its way onto Linux.

Knights and Merchants was originally a LinuxGamePublishing (RIP) title, and sadly the port source code must have gone with it. Topware Interactive now have a Linux beta available on Steam that uses Wine.

Could be sad news ahead for strategy fans, as the original Total War: WARHAMMER announcement listed SteamOS in the platform list, but their latest messages don't seem too confident.

I am really excited to play Cossacks 3 as I love real time strategy games, and the graphics do look great. This new video is a bit of fun showing off "diplomacy".
