Feral Interactive announced today in their newsletter that the Linux port Total War: WARHAMMER II will be available in 'early Autumn'.
Given their wording, this means it's likely to be sometime in September, so prepare your wallets. Here's exactly what they said for those not receiving it:
The New World beckons! We are aiming to release Total War: WARHAMMER II for macOS and Linux in early Autumn.
This would make Feral's third Linux port this year after Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia and Rise of the Tomb Raider. We still have Life is Strange: Before the Storm to come as well. Hopefully more to keep Linux gamers satisfied!
Sadly, it looks like we're not getting a Linux port of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, as it was announced only for Mac. If you want to see it on Linux, might be worth letting them know on Twitter.
Quoting: Purple Library GuyAnd since we want Feral to continue doing well, and since doing a Total War game probably only has an opportunity cost of maybe a third of a different kind of game (because it's so quick and easy to do), I'm getting kind of tired of so many people whining about them taking their guaranteed revenue.
I understand all that, and I'm fine with it. But while I'm granting(*) the Total War players each and every port, grant me a little grumbling. :)
(*) (German: ) Ich habe keine gute Übersetzung für "gönnen" gefunden...?

Quoting: slaapliedjeAwesome, and hell yeah I want more Lego games on Linux!Are there any Lego games on Linux at all? if so where? inquiring minds need to know so they can get in on the action.
Edit: Here is the thread where they were talking about support for the minifigures game on Linux.

Quoting: slaapliedjeCould have sworn it was LEGO Worlds that did. Don't recall playing it on Windows, but it says I have 4.5 hours of play time. But the LEGO Minifigures Online one was on Linux, but it died a horrible death because they were basically charging for virtual Lego bricks.Ah yes how could I have forgotten the Minifigures game, now I think about it some of the physical figures came with activation codes to add the figures into the game.
