Techland's Chrome Engine 6 Officially Supports Linux, Hellraid & Dying Light Possible For Linux

UPDATE: Techland confirm neither Dying Light nor Hellraid will come to Linux.

This may not be news for our readers who have been around for a while, but Techland's Chrome Engine 6 actually supports Linux.

Taking from their official website:

QuoteChrome Engine® 6 broadens the meaning of multiplatform as it now supports the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles, Linux and MacOS along with PC (DirectX 10 and 11), Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

It's good to see more game engines that offer up official support for Linux, but let's keep our feet on the ground and remember that Linux supported doesn't necessarily mean developers will actually use it.

Here's a look at what Chrome Engine 6 looks like with Dying Light:

Now the reason it may not be surprising is we spoke to Techland back in March about Hellraid and they said this:

QuoteHello Liam,

We won’t have Linux/SteamOS version of the game at launch but would like to port it after the Windows and console versions are released.

Best regards,
Marcin

We did also note in that article that Chrome Engine 6 supported Linux, but it seems not many people took note (we did get a lot less traffic then though to be fair), so now is a good time for a refresher.

We have reached out to our Techland contacts to see if they have any more progress on Hellraid Linux & Dying Light that will use the Chrome Engine 6. It's promising considering back in March they were already being positive on the possibility of a Linux port of Hellraid.

A good way currently to show your support is tell the developers directly on their Steam forums how much you want to see them on Linux, and you can do so for Dying Light here and Hellraid here.
