Attila (and Rome2) coming to SteamOS/Linux

**Nicollo da Conti** · March 04, 2015, 02:12 PM

Big, big exciting news for Linux gamers this week from Valve and the GDC. Vulkan, Source2, Steam Machines, Vive... and now a SteamOS sale that lists (among a slew of other upcoming titles) Attila and Rome 2.

It seems like the big push for Steam Machines, Vulkan and Vive is coming in November, so if I had to guess I'd say that's when Attila and Rome 2 will join Empire and make their SteamOS/Linux debut.

November can't come soon enough.

Definitely. It'll be really interesting if Total War gets a battlefield 'Vive mode'.

I've been playing both on Wine via their OpenGL renderers with mixed results (Rome 2 is excellent, Attila suffers the same pre-patch bugs as on a Mac), but native ports > everything else.
