Larian Studios Working On A New Game While Divinity: Original Sin Is Still Not On Linux

Geez man, don't frame it like some kind of grand scandal that they are working their next game. :/

They are working on a new game, using the same engine. The engine porting is what's being worked on for Linux. Them working on a separate game does not get in the way of the porting. Yes, it's taking a long time, but as it has been said - they are new to this, and having a more portable engine will help future ports.

Just What Are Feral Interactive Teasing This Time?

Quoting: ellieferal
Quoting: autonomouseSo... does the follow mean that Feral Interactive have announced Deus Ex: Mankind Divided for Linux?
Nope! We promise, if we have any Linux plans for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided we'll tell you with words, not with THE REQUESTINATOR.
Would like to attach my vote to both DX:HR and DX:MD for inclusion in said machine. :) You won't get much sales from HR as I suspect many people already may have bought it on that other platform we shall not name, but no doubt when MD comes out there will eventually be bundled sales. Also, many Linuxers love to show support by buying DLC, and I know I would gladly pick up the extra content that HR has.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroThe way things are looking before GDC, I wouldn't be surprised if they just give a surprise launch like Sega did with the almighty Sega Saturn (RIP).
Maaan, you've gone and jinxed it now. It's doomed!

A Look At What Linux Games We Will See In 2015 And Beyond

Quoting: rustybroomhandleI am fairly certain there will be no Broforce for Linux. One of the devs said the only way they'd support Linux is if a third party handled the port - which seemed unlikely.
Do you have a link/source for that? As it's contrary to what I've read [External Link] and would be a shame, plus it uses Unity so shouldn't be that hard. I'm looking forward to Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number [External Link], which is another missing from the above list.
Found one of the two comments I was thinking of, which still sounds like they are doing it, so that's cool. There was a second comment that's a bit more negative, but I can't find it. It's on our local dev forums so would rather not link it here. I can PM you the link to the discussion.

"We might still port it to Linux, because I think we promised it (as I recall), though I'm not looking forward to it, but maybe we'll try outsource the support for the port or something."

I hope it's a proper engine port and that subsequent chapters will be released cross platform from the beginning.
