Update: It turns out, someone at Paradox ticked the Linux box without checking and it is in fact not coming to Linux. I was told the system icons were a 'placeholder'. Helpful, really helpful.
Original article
Paradox & Eugen Systems have today announced their new RTS 'Steel Division: Normandy 44' [Official Site, Paradox Store] and it will have Linux support.
It's up on the Paradox store and you can see that lovely little tux icon for Linux support in the platforms list. As usual for Paradox, it seems it will be Steam only.
We also have some in-game shots to share:
There is no exact release date yet, other than it being sometime this year.
The game sounds crazy, with you being able to have a 10vs10 online battle with over 400 'Historically Accurate Units' available to you.
About the game
Steel Division: Normandy 44 is a Tactical Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game, developed by Eugen Systems, the creators of titles like Wargame and R.U.S.E. This new game puts players in command of detailed, historically accurate tanks, troops, and vehicles at the height of World War II. Players can measure their tactical skills against several opponents in big multiplayer battles or against enemies in a challenging single-player campaign. Steel Division: Normandy 44 allows players to take control over legendary military divisions from six different countries, such as the American 101st Airborne, the German armored 21st Panzer or the 3rd Canadian Division, during the invasion of Normandy in 1944.
As a big fan of strategy games, I will likely be taking a good look at this when the time comes. Are you excited? I sure am! A great time to be a strategy game fan and a Linux gamer, plenty of options available to us. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: KimyriellePersonally I am getting a tad jaded of the WWII setting (how often did we kick Hitler's behind in video games again?), but it -does- look like it's going to be a good game.What? Did I always play on the wrong side?

Huh? Since when do new Paradox titles not come to Linux? They ported all their recent stuff, no? oO

So is it confirmed the game will not be on Linux? Or just that it has not been confirmed to be coming to Linux. I had hopes this would as Wargame was on Linux, and this looks like Wargame: WW2, although on a smaller scale.
