CRYENGINE one of the most advanced game engines around powering a ton of games has finally announced official Linux support, so Crytek how about some Crysis on Linux?
More likely is that we could see their free online FPS "Warface" get ported, as that is what they are focusing on right now (apart from Mobile).

The Far Cry series hasn't used CRYENGINE since Crytek sold the franchise to Ubisoft. But Kingdom Come is using CRYENGINE and Warhorse announced from the start of their Kickstarter that the game would be coming to Linux as well.

That is awesome news!
I would love to see a technical presentation on how they ported it, if they have a translation layer from D3D to OpenGL like Valve, what OpenGL extensions do they use, if they are planning to become a Khronos member along Valve, Epic and Unity. Too many questions.

ok, I'm not the brightest button, but does this mean any cry engine game can be ported over with little effort?

Quoting: Anonymousok, I'm not the brightest button, but does this mean any cry engine game can be ported over with little effort?Well, not any game. It would need to be a game that was made with the ported versions so older games are unlikely.
I doubt many developers will "do a Valve" and port their really old games.
