Another World – 20th Anniversary Edition looks like it will give Linux gamers some love thanks to information from the SteamDB.
A fantastic game I never really got to finish when I was younger and I had no idea this would actually come to our platform, so this news is fab. Back when I first tried it I thought it was a really well made, and bizarre game, so I look forward to seeing how different it really is/was.

This was the first game I played that made me realise that games could be art.
It was way ahead of its time and is still impressive in many respects today. I'm looking forward to seeing how Linux users receive it.

I hope that GOG also manages to get in on this, too. They've already got it, so hopefully it'd not be too difficult.

Loved it! Really awesome game, the graphics were stellar.
Have it on Android, but I hate the controls. It's simply not convenient to play with a small touchscreen. (For me, at least)

Depending on which original you played, there may be an extra sequence (this takes place between the hallway rescue and the arena and wasn't in the original Atari and Amiga versions - it was added to the SNES and following ports IIRC, in response to feedback that the game was short). It's a little less polished than than the rest of the game IMO, but I feel it enhances rather than detracts from the experience.
The 20th anniversary edition also features repainted high res backgrounds (which can be toggled away) as well as the original 320x200 rendering (upscaled to your window resolution of choice), a choice of original or remastered sound/music, and some additional "difficulty modes". There are a bunch of bonus features including a documentary and annotated sets of Eric's technical and design notes.
I'll give a more thorough review once this lands :)

This is great news! I was surprised that this game wasn't on Linux.

Happy memories of this. I did play it again (via emulator) a few years back and found it surprisingly difficult! I'd love to buy the anniversary remake if it lands on Linux.

For anybody who can't wait and needs to get their nostalgia on right now, The Digital Lounge's "retro presskit" for Another World contains Amiga disk images which will run in UAE (should be in your repos). It's partway down this page.
