Disco Elysium open world RPG support plans for Linux, beside Windows PC. Thanks to feedback from developer ZA/UM.
Since the games now available on Steam and GOG.
This is a hellishly ambitious RPG game, Disco Elysium. Which also just launched on Windows PC, on October 15th, 2019. But the requests are also coming in for Linux support. Doing a quick search in the Steam Discussions. It’s clear that a Linux release is in demand. So we reached out to developer ZA/UM for details…
Linux Support Plans:
We’re well aware of our Linux based fans. Right now we’re focusing on squashing all the bugs as much as possible. With post launch patching and introducing some quality of life improvements to gameplay. The engine used is Unity.
I simply can’t promise anything with a timer on it yet mate. We will make a big announcement about it, once it happens.
So clear Linux support plans for Disco Elysium is in the mix. Although, there is no release date yet. Since porting will depend first on bug fixes and game updates.
The use of Unity 3D is also a pleasure to see. Likewise, the game engine makes it easier to release a Linux build.
