Feral Interactive announced today that Tomb Raider will release for Linux on April 1st, so it's going to be a fun weekend!
I've played the game myself on the PS3, although I never got to complete it. It's a really great game, and a game I've seen a lot of people ask for on Linux.
QuoteOn April 1st, Tomb Raider takes the leap onto Linux. Nothing can protect you from the dangers in store, but we can at least test the waters for you. And the forests. And the mountains. To say nothing of the Tombs.
I didn't even realize Feral not only announced their livestream of the game before it's released on Twitter, but their official site actually now has a release date of April 1st for Tomb Raider on Linux. It seems they are running a bit behind on their PR emails, and I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't click the link of their website about the livestream.
Some people think that date is an April fools, but I haven't heard a thing from Feral either way, so hopefully it's not. If it is, it's quite poorly done (It's not even April yet, come on!). I am hoping for the best though.
Exciting times ahead, too many games to keep track of, but I'm doing my best as usual for you folks.
I will be livestreaming it on the day of release, as I usually do for the bigger games. You can follow me on Twitch here.
About the game
Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.Tomb Raider explores the intense and gritty origin story of Lara Croft and her ascent from a young woman to a hardened survivor. Armed only with raw instincts and the ability to push beyond the limits of human endurance, Lara must fight to unravel the dark history of a forgotten island to escape its relentless hold. Download the Turning Point trailer to see the beginning of Lara’s epic adventure.
But I kinda regret having already bought it in a sale on steam :/
Maybe I buy it again, I really want feral to get the money...

If it is, then it's too early, terribly worded and just outright not cool.

It makes sense that they say nothing of the tombs, on account of tombs being nearly nonexistent in the game. :P

@Feral: does it work well with the Steam Controller?

I can't remember the DLC being all that meaningful.

No need to add further jokes on top of your typical AMD performance, Feral. :P

There was no joke, all our other posts about the live stream on Facebook, Twitter etc said "coming this spring" but due to a glitch in the matrix the news page said April 1st. Thanks for catching the typo and we're sorry for any confusion.
We'll announce a date as soon as we have one!
