Unity Technologies, the developer of the Unity 4 multi-platform engine and development tools, has announced that their technology will support Linux natively.

The Unity engine is mostly known for its integration with the Google Chrome browser. A number of games were built on previous versions of this engine, but nothing to fancy. The developers promised that Unity 4 would be able to deliver AAA titles.

"We've been working on Unity 4 for a long, long time and are happy to finally be able to unveil its imminent arrival and outline its core features that will change the industry," said David Helgason, CEO, Unity Technologies.

"The revolutionary animation system and add-on deployments to Adobe Flash and Linux are some of the critical features introduced in Unity 4, which together maintain Unity as the strongest, fastest evolving modern games development platform available."

Users who buy the new Unity 4 engine will get access to the Beta version and will also receive Unity 3.5 engine and toll for free.
