Wine Staging 1.9.11 has been released this weekend. This release is a small update containing only a few improvements targeting different applications.
Legends of Eisenwald an adventure game with tactical battles, RPG and strategy elements is finally coming to Linux thanks to help from Codeweavers and Wine.
Topware Interactive are continuing their promise of putting their older titles on Linux and Two Worlds Epic Edition is now available on Steam. It uses Wine, but that's not as bad as you may think.
Topware are certainly delivering on their promise of supporting old games with Wine. This time Gorky 17 gets the treatment, and a beta has been opened for testing on Steam.
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.
Looks like Vulkan support is coming to a Wine development version near you soon, as the latest Wine Staging 1.9.6 build has a conforment Vulkan implementation. It also disables CSMT as it's becoming incompatible.
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.
To split up the Vulkan API news a little, here's a game! Earth 2160 the strategy game from 2006 is now available on Linux, and it's been bundled with Wine.
After release of stable version 1.8, Wine team opened a new development branch, 1.9. While it still doesn't include as many new features as previous development releases, there are 43 fixed bugs.
