The award winning mobile game The Battle of Polytopia which we wrote about coming to Linux previously with a big revamp is now confirmed to be launching on August 4.
For the PC release which include Linux, macOS and Windows it's being rename to The Battle of Polytopia: Moonrise. This is to help identify the Steam release, which was ported over to the Unity game engine. Not only is it getting a PC release but it's going to be expanded for it, so it's not just a "mobile game" on PC. It will have bigger maps, better map generation, more map customization options, random multiplayer matchmaking and much more.
