Many of you I'm sure will be extremely happy about this, as today Feral Interactive confirmed Total War: WARHAMMER II is heading to Linux.

To celebrate, Feral have put this video out:

Released for Windows back in September of last year, we're getting it a little later than some may have wanted. However, silver lining as always that we don't need to deal with any big launch issues. Hopefully but now, it will be nicely polished.

“The race to control the Great Vortex adds a thrilling dimension to the campaign because every advance players make raises the stakes for their faction,” said David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral Interactive. “Not only must players contend with rivals for the Vortex’s power, but also with the dire consequences of success – each time they increase their control over the Vortex, the monstrous forces of Chaos are released into their lands…”

No word on the date it will release, other than "later this year". Another fine choice for a port I must say, with it being one of the most popular games on Steam right now. Most likely with Vulkan too, as I highly doubt Feral Interactive will do any OpenGL ports now, which means it's likely to perform well.

This does seem to be the game that was teased as "Proud seat of lucifer", as that teaser is no longer on the Feral port radar.

If Feral could bring us some nice RPGs and more open-world action stuff later on in the year, that would be sweet.

I'm probably the only person in the world who still plays Dungeons & Dragons Online (using Wine, of course). It would be awesome to see this come native, but since I'm the only one who gets into this one, I will probably have to stick to the Wine version. :(

Still- I absolutely agree, there needs to be more ports of RPGs and open world stuff. :)

Kerbal Space Program still has it included, I deleted the RedShellSDK.dll from the GameData/Managed folder & the game still works.

Of the Total War games I'm only missing Warhammer 2 & Thrones, they will be added to my collection before long.

edit: And Red Shell is no longer in Kerbal Space Program.

Feral could make my day a little better when Borderlands 1 finally gets a Linux port... having to start a cross-platform multiplayer session 2nd of the games instead of the first one makes not a lick of sense to me.

not really my type of game but since it has warhammer fantasy setting i will play some for sure. Liked the first one also :)

I never doubted for a moment that Warhammer II would come to Linux, considering how well the first part (and its DLCs) sold. This confirmatiom is very welcome in any case.

Quoting: PatolaGood. Now it will be possible to play the multigame campaign Mortal Empires on Linux... I hope.

I hope for this too as I already own the first game.

The number of strategy games on Linux is really impressive. By far the most represented group...

Too bad i'm not really into this kind of games.
