After giving us Mad Max, today, October 21, 2016, UK-based video game publisher Feral Interactive made another awesome announcement for GNU/Linux gamers: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is coming on the 3rd of November.
And we thought Mad Max was the biggest news of the year for Linux gamers, right? Well, wrong, as in just two weeks from the moment of writing this article, we'll be able to play the superb Deus Ex: Mankind Divided action role-playing stealth video game on our Linux-powered gaming rigs.
"As augmented covert agent Adam Jensen, choose between combat, stealth, social, and hacking approaches to achieve your aims. Your choices will open closed doors, invite new challenges, and shape the fate of mankind," reads the announcement page. "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided for Mac is standing by until Metal is updated later this year."
System requirements are yet to be announced
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix. It launched on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One just two months ago, on August 23, 2016, and it currently sales on Steam for the sum of 49,99€ or $59.99 USD (depending on your location).
On Windows, the game requires you to have at least an Intel Core i3-2100 or AMD equivalent processor, 8GB RAM, 45GB free disk space, and an AMD Radeon HD 7870 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 graphics card with 2GB RAM. Feral Interactive is yet to announce the system requirements for Linux gamers.
Please watch the trailer below to see the game in action, and don't hesitate to visit its minisite over at Feral Interactive for more details. Right now, the game will not be ported to the macOS platform because Apple needs to update the Metal API first, which should happen later this year.
