The moment many have been waiting for, Feral Interactive have just announced that Rise of the Tomb Raider for Linux will release tomorrow, April 19th. As a reminder, this title will be using Vulkan.
I honestly haven't felt this hyped up for quite some time! April is turning out to be a damn fun month for Linux gaming.
Here's what Feral sent along for the official system requirements:
Minimum
OS: Ubuntu 17.10
Processor: Intel Core i3-4130T or AMD equivalent
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: 2GB AMD R9 285 (GCN 3rd Gen and above), 2GB Nvidia GTX 680 or better
Storage: 28 GB available space
Recommended
OS: Ubuntu 17.10
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770K
Memory: 12 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 980Ti
Storage: 28 GB available space
For NVIDIA GPU users, you will need the latest 396.18 beta driver at a minimum. For AMD GPU users, you will need Mesa 17.3.5, although if you're on Vega you will need Mesa 18.0 or later. AMD GCN 1st and 2nd generation graphics cards are not supported, Intel GPUs are also not supported.
Also, it requires an SSE2 capable processor.
We shall have a review out tomorrow at release and likely a livestream, so do ensure you're following us on Twitch.
If you wish to pick it up now, you can do so on the Humble Store, Feral Store or Steam directly. If you're worried about it not counting for Linux, Feral themselves have said publicly they're happy for people to buy games when they've announced them.

Quoting: tengisuDoes anyone know if they will provide a steam key if I buy directly from Feral? I want to support Feral directly but I also want all my games in one place (steam).Yes, Feral store purchases are Steam keys, purchase away ;)

I recently made some benchmarks on Windows, including multi-GPU but I can't find the results right now :S:

Quoting: BrisseIf you do, it would be nice to have a comparison with the same system and Linux. (:Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTCould someone who has the chance to please post Windows vs Linux benchmarks after it has been released?

Feral give out Steam keys only. At least on Linux so far.
Quoting: liamdaweDate yes, but apparently not yet the time.
Feral is based in my woods in the UK. It's only just passed 9am ;)
Same for me. I just redeemed my key I got from Humble in hopes it might count towards them. Where's my morning present Feral! :P
