Since gameplay footage released from Crytek’s PvP monster hunter, Hunt: Showdown. Which to overwhelmingly positive feedback at E3. While Crytek have all of the footage available to the public via the Hunt Youtube channel. So take a look at the latest IP from the creators of Crysis. Since we could see a Linux and Ubuntu port beside Windows.
What about Linux?
“Regarding Linux support at this point we cannot share any information yet with you.”
Since this is not a formal confirmation. Crytek does seems to be avoiding the “no” reply. Which means we could very well have a Linux and Ubuntu port coming for Hunt: Showdown. Yet the games still in development. So, hopefully Vulkan API support will be enabled as well. But don’t expect a release anytime soon. This is just a teaser of what’s to come.

So Hunt: Showdown Creative Director Magnus Larbrant and Level Design Director Chris Auty show off gameplay. Hunting the games monstrous spider in a dark Louisiana swamp.
