The Valiant squad-based RTS game has a new trailer with plans for Linux with Windows PC. All due to the brilliant effort of developer KITE Games. Working to make its way onto Steam and GOG.
Thou shalt champion the forces of Justice and Prevail against Evil. Which is also the 10th commandment of chivalry. It’s also what drives Theoderich von Akenburg, the hero of our story. One of his former brothers in arms, Ulrich, has become obsessed with re-uniting Aaron’s rod. Which is an ancient and mysterious relic. Who is also on a reckless crusade through Europe and the Holy Land to find the missing pieces. If Ulrich succeeds, the world will face grave outcomes. Theoderich has vowed to never take up arms again, but chivalry forces him to embark on the holy quest. Due to stop Ulrich, gathering new loyal companions along the way.
This is the premise behind The Valiant. Which slated to makes it’s way onto Windows PC. But there is a slight bit of hope for Linux.
We don’t plan a native version of Linux but we will do everything we can that it works well on Proton.
While will certainly be a disappointment to some, it does offer hope. Obviously KITE Games and publisher THQ Nordic recognize the Steak Deck. And in turn, Linux as a gaming plaform. However, if you are a person who appreciate squad-based RTS game, check out the new trailer.
