It's always good to get things reconfirmed near the main release. Dambuster has confirmed Linux gamers haven't been forgotten about for Homefront: The Revolution.
If you read GOL often, you would have already known that Homefront: The Revolution was coming to Linux. It was originally planned to be a day-1 release, but then it wasn't so clear and now it seems for sure it's not until after the initial release.
@keyboardN1nja @gamingonlinux @HomefrontGame Windows first with native Mac & Linux to follow afterwards - we haven't forgotten you! :)

I'm quite sad it's now for sure not a day-1 release, but also very glad the developer directly seems committed to a Linux version.
I still think day-1 releases are one of the keys to Linux/SteamOS success, but I will take a wait over no port of course. I just hope it doesn't turn into "one of those" where we end up waiting, seeing a delay, more delays and so on which happens often for us.
I'm looking forward to it a lot, are you?
About the game (From Steam)
Homefront: The Revolution is an open-world first person shooter where you must lead the Resistance movement in guerrilla warfare against a superior military force.
A living, breathing, open world responds to your actions - you and your Resistance Cell can inspire a rebellion on the streets and turn Occupation into Revolution, as oppressed civilians take up the fight.
But your enemy has the advantage - superior technology, firepower, heavy armour and air support. You must learn the art of guerrilla warfare – ambush, sabotage, infiltration, deception – and fight a running battle through the war-ravaged suburbs of Philadelphia.
And the single player campaign is just the start – in Co-Op you and your friends can form your own Resistance Cell and become renowned as Heroes of the Revolution.
Anyway, once this comes out for the penguin I'll likely scoop it up, given it reviews well.
Linux still gets hugely trashed today for not having enough users to be viable, being way too hard to use etc etc....
