Stop the press! Hold the phones! Looks like Saints Row 2 will be getting the Linux treatment too. We are truly blessed with games recently!

If you see here on SteamDB, you will notice these:
Quote401480/config/oslist: linux
401480/name: Saints Row 2 Port Data
401481/config/oslist: linux
401481/name: Saints Row 2 Port Linux

That's looking pretty likely, but remember this is all unconfirmed right now.

About the game (Official)
Saints Row 2 brings true freedom to open-world gaming. Players can play as who they want, how they want, and with whomever they want in this sequel to the much acclaimed and tremendously successful Saints Row.

Set years after the original, the player finds himself in a Stilwater both familiar and strange and challenged with bringing the Saints back as the rightful kings of Stilwater and bringing vengeance to those who wronged him.

I will be grabbing a copy that's for sure. Remember to hold off until it's released, don't go buying it now!

Thanks for the poke about it dubigrasu! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Oh yes, I've enjoyed Saints Row 3 and IV a lot, looking forward to playing 2.

Hm... I was recently wondering about Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell, because it got a bunch of encrypted depots at about the same time as Saints Row IV. So maybe they're porting them all?

Saints Row 2 is a fantastic game, it's also notorious for being one of the worst PC ports. I wonder if the Linux port will be able to address some of the PC port issues, or at least incorporate or be compatible with some of the mods that try to fix some of the PC ports issues.

Just checked my steam library and - thanks to buying way too many bundles - I already own SR 2, 3 and 4.

I was thinking the same thing. I actually played it on the Xbox 360 years ago because the PC version was so horrible, even though my hardware was stronger than the 360 at the time.

And now imagine that PC port wrapped by VP.

1.The windows port of SR2 was.......no so great.
2.So they must be making a new port for all 3 operating systems if they're bothering to port the game.

I smell an Aspyr port.

this is cool, I had SR2 on my xbox 360 as well, but purchased SR3 and SR4 for PC through steam when they came out. i've played them all to death. but I might buy SR2 on PC just to show some support there, and give it another playthrough.

Never played it, but reading the comments I really hope its not a Windows wrapper. If not I will buy it no question.
