Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition arrives on Linux on November 5th

By -

Feral Interactive have finally confirmed the Linux release date for Shadow of the Tomb Raider after announcing it for Linux back in November last year.

They've said today it will officially release as "Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition" on November 5th! Looking around at dates, technically this is the earliest we've seen any of the newer Tomb Raider series arrive on Linux. The first Tomb Raider came to Linux in 2016 after an original 2013 release, with Rise of the Tomb Raider arriving on Linux 2018 after an original 2016 release and we get the final game in the reboot trilogy next month!

Since we've waited on it for just over a year after release, we get the fancy Definitive Edition which comes with its entire collection of DLC so it's not a bad package for a patient gamer to get. Feral's previous port of Rise of the Tomb Raider performed really well too, so I've no doubt this will.

One thing the Linux version will not support is Ray Tracing, as Feral Interactive confirmed to GamingOnLinux over email.

Feral announced it on their official site, Twitter, press emails and so on. They also have a fancy mini-site setup for it if you're after a bit more information. We also still have Life is Strange 2 and Total War Saga: TROY to come from Feral yet.

Will you be picking up a copy when it releases? We shall have a livestream of the fun no doubt, be sure to follow us on Twitch for when that happens.

In times of proton this is still some remarkable news! We haven't seen many native releases in the last year, so I'll make sure they get that little bit extra, when I buy it in their store.

It's so heartening to see Feral stick with porting for us through all the changes that are taking place in the Linux and wider PC platform. Proton, Stadia etc are all disruptive to their business model but the proof is in the pudding, it's still worth porting the odd big game.

Thanks Feral!

I am currently playing Rise of the Tomb Raider. I really like the game and it performs well. looking forward to Shadow of the Tomb Raider :)
Also they now have the Linux port ready just in time for it to be released on Stadia.

edit: does anyone know whether Ray tracing will be a thing in the Linux version?

Definite purchase for me ^_^ My game buying has slowed down for a while now. I have a good backlog but this is one I can't pass up!

I skipped the previous game because it looked too similar to TR 2013 and I wasn’t really feeling like replaying that, but from what I’m hearing this has less combat and more interesting platforming so I might give it a shot.

Not the one I'm most excited for, but that won't stop me from getting it. I expect a great port, fantastic graphics, ok mechanics and terrible writing. Now that I'm properly set up, let it come. :D

Get another from the feral site :)

I have to confess that I got this on sale recently to test my new graphics card. But that's not going to stop me buying a copy from feral, they need all the encouragement we can give. I got Total War Three Kingdoms just to support more native builds and not because I really like this genre. Consider it a donation for a company that has clearly done a lot for us.
