Witcher 2 Linux port coming soon?

[Jodell88]

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, while first released for Windows gamers in 2011, might see its release in the very near future for Linux gamers.

Several Phoronix readers have been writing in this afternoon that The Witcher 2 has appeared on SteamDB.info today with a "The Witcher 2 Linux Beta Retail" entry. It's not yet publicly accessible for Linux gamers to play, but the Linux listing for Steam indicates that it may be on the way very soon.

Hopefully they ported from Windows to Linux and not from OSX to Linux.

Probably from Windows, and I wouldn't doubt if it was in some collaboration with Valve (though weird, since they've consistently gone their own way).

Valve providing that new porting toolset could probably help significantly. I think it's basically focused on games that used DX9 as a base, which IIRC they did with Witcher 2.

I hope it's ported from windows. If not, the best we can hope for is OpenGL 4.1 support. 🙁
