14 DAY TRIAL // Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition, a remake version of the original game that was launched back in 2000, will be getting a Linux release.
The new version of Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition is being made by a studio called Beamdog, which also did Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. For the record, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition also has a Linux version waiting in line, but the developers have yet to make it available and there is no indication of when it might arrive.
"Originally released in 2000, Icewind Dale is hailed as a classic Dungeons & Dragons adventure based in Wizards of The Coast's legendary Forgotten Realms campaign setting. The Enhanced Edition will allow new and experienced gamers alike to enjoy this epic adventure as never before."
"Icewind Dale has been enhanced with new kits and character classes, dozens of new items and spells, and restored quest material cut from the original game. The redesigned user interface features Zoom capabilities and a Quickloot Bar, among numerous other improvements. Up to six players can simultaneously enjoy Icewind Dale with the new cross-platform multiplayer mode," reads the official website.
Interestingly enough, the description of the games only mentions PC and Mac as platforms, but the Steam logo above it also says Linux. It's very likely that Linux gamers will have to wait a little while after the actual release for the other platforms.
Enjoy!
