Kingdom Come Deliverance: First CryEngine Game Planned For Linux
Czech Republic located game studio, #-Link-Snipped-# has funded a Kickstarter game Kingdom Come Deliverance; which is powered by Crytek's CryEngine3. CryEngine 3 is the latest version of Crytek's game engine on which the games like Crysis 2, Warface, Lichdom & Sniper : Ghost Warrior 2 were successfully developed. Back in 2012, Michael Larabel of Phoronix first reported about CryEngine's Linux port on twitter, but since then there has been no official report by Crytek about Linux port of their latest game engine. However, In mid-2013 when Crytek hiring to bring CryEngine 3 to Linux - GameSpot calling for a programmer to work on CryEngine3 to bring it to Linux operating system, we knew that few mainstream games for Linux will emerge.
With Valve's effort in bringing games to Linux with Projects like Valve SteamOS Free Download Soon For A Linux Based OS On The TV In Your Living Room & Valve 300 Steam Machine Prototype Hardware Specifications Announced, Other studios are also inclined in bringing their games to Linux, so soon there will be point when we could see big companies like Crytek, Ubisoft, Blizzard, etc. porting games to Linux. And like what Battlefield director DICE creative director, Lars Gustavvson said, "It would only take one 'killer' game for Linux platform to explode its way to mainstream gaming".
