It will officially release on April 11th, so it's coming really damn soon. Far closer to release than I thought it would be.

They are listing Linux right away everywhere platforms are mentioned, so it looks to be a day one release for sure. You can pre-order it now, but as always I suggest waiting until release to be sure.

Key updates
  • Enhanced Planescape: Chris Avellone, Lead Designer on Planescape Torment, has partnered with Beamdog to curate gameplay updates, bug fixes, and enhancements to best capture his original vision for the game.
  • Remastered Music: The full Planescape: Torment soundtrack has been remastered in-game to add more depth to Sigil and the multiverse.
  • 4K Interface: Sigil has never looked this good! The interface of Planescape: Torment has been rebuilt in high definition with tons of new convenience features.
  • A Planescape For Today: The Enhanced Edition includes modern features such as tab highlighting, area zooming, combat log, quickloot, and more!


How excited are you for this? I never played the original, so I'm excited to give it a try. It's estimated to be around 50+ hours long so I might need a few late nights.

It really is incredible that Linux gamers can enjoy updated classics like this, we certainly aren't short on fantastic games now. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

From developers:

Quote64-bit probably won't happen for the release. We're working on it, though, and hoping to get it eventually.

I pointed them to using -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 for 32-bit build. Let's hope they'll do it.
