Rise of the Tomb Raider announced for Linux, port from Feral Interactive

By - | Views: 73,073

Many asked, now Feral Interactive have answered. Rise of the Tomb Raider [Steam] is officially on the way to Linux! What a fantastic way to start a Tuesday with news like this! It still amazes me to this day that Linux will have games like this, very happy with the news!

Feral aren't saying exactly when it will arrive, but they had a tweet out that said "This Winter" which has since been deleted (Edit: replaced with this one). You can see the official confirmation on their official site which now says "This spring", so it could be here sometime between March and late June.

The advantage of getting a game later than Windows, is we get the 20 Year Celebration edition which has all the DLC.

For those wondering, it will indeed use Vulkan on Linux! This is confirmed at the bottom of the Features page on the mini-site.

Here's the trailer Feral put up:

The game has been loved by reviewers and users alike, so it looks like it will be a solid hit for Linux gamers after more Lara. It takes the first game and makes nearly all aspects of it bigger and better than before, including more actual Tombs.

It seems this is the game that has replaced the previous Linux port teaser of "O VAIN ILLUSION OF GLORY AND GRANDEUR" that was put up back in October of last year. We still have to discover the game behind the "It's just a shot away" teaser that was put up in January, so there's more on the way remember!

Are you hyped? Let us know in the comments.

Yay! Woo hoo!

Woohoo!

Quoting: EhvisNow I'm curious. IIRC, RoTR has DX12 support. Did Feral use that basis for their port to Vulkan or did they go for DX11 translation they already had working.
I'd like to know too. Would be interesting to know which is better/easier for Feral.
Is the DX12 version better than DX11 on windows?

If they never state otherwise, I'm quite sure this will be obvious once the benchmarks start rolling in :)

Yay!! I will buy this on the Feral store as soon as it comes out. Have been hoping for Feral to port this for quite a while now ;-)

great news! Will definitely get it. Hopefully I will have time to enjoy it.

Awesome! Unfortunately, I won't be able to support Feral, this time. Got the game when I bought my GTX960... :(
Still, I will probably buy it again for my kids, when they are old enough...

I played this on the PS4 pro, its a great game.
I wonder if it will have the VR level?
