Wasteland 3 currently in development by inXile Entertainment, a game that was confirmed for Linux on the original Fig campaign has a new chilly trailer out. Update: They also replied to a user on Twitter, to confirm continued Linux support.

Additionally, they've announced the release is now going to be sometime in "Spring 2020", they said "thanks to our relationship with Microsoft, we’re able to hire more staff and spend more time realizing our vision for Wasteland 3" so they're spending a little more time on it. As always, a rushed game is not what we want, so as long as they get it into a good state a delay is fine. Sounds like it's going to be a pretty big game, with a radically different setting to Wasteland 2.
As for early builds, the Alpha will be sometime this August with a Beta in "late Fall" this year. They will also be attending Gamescom this year in August, so if anyone is around you will find it in the Deep Silver booth.
You can see more on the official site or this Fig update.

Quoting: PangaeaQuoting: nitroflowAm I the only one that absolutely hates the trailer to the point it's off putting?Maybe not that strongly, but I didn't like it either. Had no idea this was meant to be Scotchmo (a character from Wasteland 2) until I read about it somewhere.
I liked Wasteland 2 so will keep my eyes on this and watch for news. Obviously it must come out on Linux to be viable for my money.
Overall I feel really sad about inXile and especially Obsidian being bought up by Microsoft. Means we can forget about Linux released in future games from them, and the quality of the games may suffer as well. Can also forget about DRM Free and GOG releases (for 5+ years). Very bad news that these quality developers that have a history of making great games in reality are no more.
Too late for me since I backed it, but even this gameplay trailer they released two years ago looks and feels much better than the E3 trailer which is why I feel so strongly against it.

Strange lip-syncing and mouth movements aside, that gives a better vibe than whatever they were aiming for with the E3 video.

However, the main thing is how the actual game turns out of course, and if they release it on Linux. Hopefully they do, as it was crowd-funded before selling out to Microsoft. And if they don't, I hope there will be a movement to get refunds since they don't deliver the product they promised.
Overall it's sad to see the gaming industry moving in the direction it has for quite a few years, and apparently getting even worse as time passes. We're seeing signs of a duopoly appearing, or maybe a few more. And heaps of exclusives instead of people being able to buy the product from whichever store they prefer. Modern-day capitalism has more in common with the harsh forms of communism. Happens to industry after industry, and the consumers always suffer. Sad to see it happening to the gaming industry too. And with people usually cheering it on.

Quoting: tofuheadMicrosoft owns inXile studio? so what makes them qualify as indie developers, and asking support in fig?To be fair, the first game had a 3 legged hooker in it.
@14: no, this trailer kind of made me even more interested just because of that :)
