Dust: An Elysian Tail To Arrive On Linux Soon

Immerse yourself in a gorgeous hand-painted world on a search for your true identity. As the mysterious warrior, Dust, your action-packed journey will take you from peaceful glades to snowy mountaintops and beyond. At your disposal is the mythical Blade of Ahrah, capable of turning its wielder into an unstoppable force of nature, and the blade's diminutive guardian, Fidget. Battle dozens of enemies at once with an easy-to-learn, difficult-to-master combat system, take on a variety of quests from friendly villagers, discover ancient secrets and powerful upgrades hidden throughout the massive, open world, and uncover the story of an ancient civilization on the brink of extinction as you fight to uncover your own past.

The developers have officially confirmed it now:

I guess now's as good a time as any to announce that Dust:AET will soon be available on Mac and Linux! More details soon!

This is being ported by Ethan Lee, so you can be sure it will be a decent quality port and supported. Funny thing is that it's another Microsoft Studios published game (from when they where only on Xbox) heading to Linux. I do wonder if MS had to sign off on this or not, be interesting to know that.

What do you think to this exciting news ladies and gents? It does look bloody good!
