Woah! Holy Sh...Deus Ex: Mankind Divided looks like it may be getting a Linux & SteamOS release which has literally blown my tiny little mind.

There's a rather large bit of info here on SteamDB, where you can see stuff like this:
Quotelaunch/9/config/oslist: linux
launch/9/executable: DeusExMD.sh
launch/9/type: none

And this:
Quote337001/encryptedmanifests/domesticated_mac_linux_sync/encrypted_gid_2: 973A3491BA8BBFE16CAF17F204300E1B


Obviously no word on a release date and this is not confirmed anywhere. It's good supporting evidence though.

Reminder: We have seen Linux pop up on SteamDB before and a port never happened. Just something to keep in mind.

Exciting either way though, as the game is being very well reviewed all around from what I can see. I actually played and finished the one directly before this and loved it. You can bet I will play the crap out of it if/when it's released for us.

About the game
The year is 2029, and mechanically augmented humans have now been deemed outcasts, living a life of complete and total segregation from the rest of society.

Now an experienced covert operative, Adam Jensen is forced to operate in a world that has grown to despise his kind. Armed with a new arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and augmentations, he must choose the right approach, along with who to trust, in order to unravel a vast worldwide conspiracy.

Looks like I wasn't the only one to check steamdb just after release ;-) It's there with depots and a configuration, so more than just a hint.

Also, that makes my invisible forum post rather pointless. How long do you get moderator queued on there for new discussions?

Looks to me like a feral port possibly, would make sense, since they've been porting other things for Square Enix recently, like Tomb Raider.

I approve all users forum posts twice until they leave the mod queue, it's completely stopped forum spam for us.

Now that's interesting, as I remember David Anfossi (boss of Eidos Montreal, developer of Deus Ex HR & MD) teasing with a picture of a Steam Machine a while ago on Twitter. I thought that maybe they were doing tests for a Linux port of HR but had abandoned it, as there had been no follow up afterwards.

One awesome port after another, Feral is on fire!

Before Square Enix is thinking about a SteamOS-/Linux-Version of "DeusEx Mankind Dvided" , they should port the predecessor "Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut" first.

Pretty interesting, but a pity it's Square Enix. Low chances of it coming out DRM-free.

I'm hoping but everytime I see a AAA game rumoured to come to Linux/SteamOS, most developers or publishers backtrack a couple of months later. Lets wait and see.

Seconded, I actually have that game as a gift, but never got it to work properly through Wine. (Must confess I gave up on that rather quickly and went on to play native games)

If that's true... well, for me it sounds too good to be true, to be honest. But I'd pick the game up immediately if it would get released on Linux.

Just started to play the game on PS4 yesterday but would prefer to play the game on PC. Heck, I was even thinking of installing Windows to play this game (and Dishonored 2, when it gets released). Deus Ex on Linux would be a dream come true.

Human Revolution was one of the best games I've played in recent years.

this would be an instant-buy for me!

Wow, this would be huge.

Also, it makes me wonder if this game will be ported to Vulkan since it appears to be shipping with DirectX 12 support.

I finished the first one and while i hope that gets ported to SteamOS, i'm really stoked for the sequel too!

It'll be nice to see this and Deus Ex HUman Revolution make an appareance on linux + gog.com

Just found this that might confirm the whole story:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Feral-Interactive-Tells-Linux-Users-to-Request-Deus-Ex-Mankind-Divided-Port-478422.shtml

So it might just be logical to get a Linux port from Feral. That would be awesome!!!

Depth Charge?

Even then new one, not the old?! The new entry that all the reviews are saying are "more of the same, only better" - in other words EXACTLY what I want?!

You gotta be fucking kidding me. This is HUGE! Like, this-single-handedly-saves-this-year-in-Linux-gaming huge!
natewardawg Aug 23, 2016
If it gets ported and the reviews are good I will pay full price. I almost always buy games on sale but would definitely make an exception for this one. :)

Honestly, I'm not surprised Softpedia wrote about that. Feral says such things about ports all the time in reply to requests on Facebook. Softpedia just wanted a nice headline, don't read into it too much.
