Information about the Linux port has been spotted in the Steam Database, but it's not a confirmation

Dying Light is a new FPS from Techland and it's all about surviving the night during a zombie apocalypse. This is a studio specialized in this kind of games, and it looks that they might also be interested in the Linux platform.

Gamers might remember that the same team of developers also made the Dead Island series, and one title from that franchise has been ported to Linux as well. That means that Techland is not exactly stranger to the Linux platform, so there is a pretty good chance that we'll get to see Dying Light working on the open source platform as well.

There has been no official word from Techland, which is the developer and the publisher for this game, but they were pretty quiet about Dead Island. It's not surprising that they're are not saying anything about a Linux port just yet, although that might change if there is enough pressure from the online community.

The Steam Database, the mother of all Linux information

As usual, the information about the potential Linux port of Dying Light comes from the Steam Database, which is actually a record of data that describes every Steam game and subscription provided by Valve for the Steam service.

Don't get out your wallets just yet. There is no certainty that the information provided in this database will come to pass, but history tells us that there is a very good probability of that happening.

"Dying Light is an action survival game presented in first-person perspective. The game is set in a vast and dangerous open world. During the day, you roam an urban environment devastated by a mysterious epidemic, scavenging for supplies and crafting weapons to help you defeat the hordes of mindless, flesh-hungry enemies the plague has created. At night, the hunter becomes the prey as the infected grow in strength and aggression," reads the Steam synopsis.

We'll keep you informed if any official information comes our way.
