Receiver is getting a much expanded sequel! Wolfire Games (Overgrowth, Lugaru) have confirmed Receiver 2 is releasing with Linux support next year.
Announcing the game on Twitter, they said "Receiver. Is. Back. The most realistic gun simulator ever returns in #Receiver2, a brand new game from Wolfire Games.".
Direct Link
If you've not played the original, which also has Linux support, this is no arcade game or Call of Duty-like. This is a gun simulation. You can learn how a gun works with it and enemies are not bullet sponges, a well placed shot will take someone or something down. It's all based on gun mechanic realism.
Feature Highlight:
- Sidearms modeled down to every spring and pin
- Enemies with physically-based damage models
- Ballistic modeling of ricochets, penetration, and bullet drop
- Train your mind to defend against the Mindkill
- Become literate in how guns actually operate
Receiver 2 will be staying as a single-player game, they confirmed no mutliplayer is planned for it. They also said it will have a lot more content compared to the original. So expect more guns and a deeper gun simulation.
You can wishlist/follow it on Steam.

QuoteDoes Receiver 2 have online multiplayer or VR support?Maybe they'll change their mind, though.
No, Receiver 2 is designed to be a single-player experience played on a monitor with a mouse and keyboard.
