Mark of the Ninja: Remastered has been announced and teased by Klei [Official Site], their rather good stealth game is going to get even better. Mark of the Ninja is actually a fantastic game overall, so this was quite a welcome surprise. Updated: See the bottom.
They're not giving out a lot of details just yet, but they did say this:
The critically acclaimed stealth platformer is back and slicker than ever. Mark of the Ninja: Remastered will feature fully redone 4K visuals for both gameplay and cutscenes along with enhanced audio and new particle effects. It will also include the Mark of the Ninja Special Edition expansion content and be released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam.
We've reached out to clarify what they mean by "Steam" since that might mean it's Windows only, but with the original supporting Linux and Klei generally being great with Linux support it should hopefully have a Linux version. Will update you all when we get an answer.
Here's the teaser:

Update—After reaching out to Klei about Linux support, here's what they said to us directly:
We intend on supporting Mac and Linux, it just may not launch at the exact same time as the PC version. Once we are further along with the new Remastered build we should have a better idea on Mac and Linux timelines. But we want to, and see no reason why it wouldn't be there too!
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI want to know the system requirements for 4k..A DisplayPort cable less than 2 meters. ;)
Quoting: rea987Remaster for a 2012 title, is that really necessary? How about much much older titles?
I agree...
Quoting: cprnIf it comes as free update I'll play the game again. Visuals aren't important enough to make me pay money.But maybe there will be a discount for the owners of the original game, like what happened with Dead Island Definitive.
Quoting: rea987Remaster for a 2012 title, is that really necessary? How about much much older titles?Well, six years in computing terms is a pretty long time. In terms of game development, there's probably so many things they wished they could improve upon that they decided to refresh it. Not only that, but in terms of a Linux build it means they could hopefully use more recent libs, improve performance and compatibility and so on. It's a great thing to do.
