Team17 have announced that Worms W.M.D will release on August 23rd, but the Linux version is going to be post-launch.

@gamingonlinux We are looking at Linux support post launch on the 23rd Aug :)

Sad, but hopefully the delay will allow them to make sure the Linux version is properly polished and ready. I really want to play it, so I would hate for it to be riddled with issues.

The other issue is that their pre-order campaign includes bonus stuff from other games, but of course no Linux gamer will pre-order it since it won't have Day-1 Linux support. I asked, and it's being looked into:

@gamingonlinux This will be taken into consideration :)

It's really great to see that Team17 is so responsive!

Anyway, if you do decide to pre-order (or if they sort out something for us post-release) this is what you will get:

Quoting: c927776If there is a delay with Linux version it means that Linux version was afterthought which means that original source is optimized for Windows and "port" will be bad as usual.
Not necessary, it could mean that they were in the last part of development but very late and since they didn't want to delay the release they decided to focus on fixing Windows-only issues and doing only testing on Windows to be able to release Windows on date and then be able to release Linux later when enough fixing and testing is done on that platform as well.
