Classic RTS Perimeter returns as PERIMETER: Legate Edition with Linux support

Perimeter originally released back in 2004, and it's set to make a return from developer K-D Lab with the PERIMETER: Legate Edition. This new version of the game will be releasing on May 21st, and it will come with Native Linux support much like the developer did with the re-release of Vangers.

Features of the new edition include:

• Cross-platform compatibility: Windows, Linux.
• "Emperor’s Testament" add-on included in the main game.
• Support for widescreen monitors with almost any resolution. You can change the resolution without restarting the game, and in windowed mode, changing the window size dynamically adjusts the game resolution.
• Full support for online multiplayer gaming.
• Capability for multiplayer with more than 4 players (on special maps).
• Enhanced textures and models.
• Support for custom mods.
• Improved game balance.
• Availability of all frames from both Geometry of War and Emperor’s Testament, as well as electro-technologies in battles and multiplayer. New player colours added.
• Numerous minor improvements and bug fixes.

I actually always wanted to give this one a go but never got round to it when it originally came out, so seeing this new edition is great and that looks like a rather nice list of upgrades. Nice to see some developers don't want to see their games forgotten.

Also, it's open source! Under the GPL on GitHub. That's only the code though, it still needs assets from the game to work. Nice to see and they did the same with Vangers.

You can follow it on Steam.
