Get ready for more warfare, as Verdun is set to get a standalone expansion named 'Tannenberg' that sees you heading East.

Ballistic Overkill has been updated again to fix some of the major issues. Linux will still require a workaround for the black screen issue (a Unity bug), but it's easy to do.

Ravenfield is a Red vs Blue single-player FPS that plays out a little like Battlefield and it's now in Early Access.

Day of Infamy, the rather fantastic FPS has just released a major update featuring Australia. It's also on sale on Chrono which comes with Insurgency for free.

Serious Sam Fusion 2017 has been updated to include some benchmark modes along with some other useful changes. I've done some quick tests.

Confirmed by others as well, the latest Ballistic Overkill that adds in Vulkan and many other things, has completely broken the Linux version. UPDATED with a temp fix.

Ballistic Overkill, one of my favourite FPS games and one we host three servers for is due a huge update tomorrow! It will get early Vulkan support and much more!

I'm excited to see more from Ravenfield, as the early versions on itch are very promising. It's heading to Steam and will release with Linux support on May 18th.

Thanks to a Twitter tip, it seems that Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope might be coming to Linux soon with Vulkan.

Become a mummified redneck in the FPS Immortal Redneck, here’s some thoughts I cooked up for you plus a gameplay video.

Immortal Redneck looks like it could be something really fun for FPS fans! An FPS set in Egypt with rogue-lite and it looks pretty darn good.

I wrote about The Signal From Tölva back in August of last year as it looks amazing. It has now been released on Windows and the developers are still fully open to getting it on Linux.

Classic first-person shooters are without question my favourite video game genre, and it would be nice to be able to sit down and play more Indie games that can satisfy both my classic FPS craving while at the same time pushing the genre forward. Ziggurat attempts to do both, and it wins my respect for that.

Inner Chains is a rather dark FPS powered by Unreal Engine 4 and it does look incredible. The problem is, the release date has been set with no Linux release in sight.

This slipped by me, not to be confused with the VR titles, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter is now supported in Croteam's updated Fusion engine and it features Vulkan and Linux support.

Croteam have recently released both Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter & Serious Sam VR: The Second Encounter on Steam. They both use their new Fusion engine which comes with Linux support, Vulkan and 64bit.

Version 0.8.2 of the free and open source arena FPS Xonotic has been released with a couple of new maps and a number of other changes and additions.

Just a quick update about the great online FPS Ballistic Overkill. I spoke to the developers on Twitter and it's possibly it may see a Unity upgrade to get Vulkan.

Unreal Tournament has been updated with much better weapon animations, AI improvements, map updates and more. Here's how to get it running on Linux.

When it comes to FPS games based on realism, Linux is in shortly supply. Day of Infamy is another game that, for me, has closed a gap I needed.
