Note down September 22nd in your gaming calendars, as SteamWorld Dig 2 will officially release on Steam with Linux support.

I did announce recently that Linux support will be day-1 and their latest email to me confirms this, as does the Steam store page with "Available: September 22 - Windows, Mac & Linux". Really great to see!

The developer, Image & Form, have been good to Linux gamers with SteamWorld Dig, SteamWorld Heist and now SteamWorld Dig 2. I thought SteamWorld Heist was quite brilliant, so it will be fun to see what they've done here. They claim it's "the best game we’ve ever made", so let's see what happens!

About the game

Grab your pickaxe and dig into the sequel to the award-winning SteamWorld Dig! A platform mining adventure in classic Metroidvania style. In search of her lost friend, a lone steambot and her unlikely companion must dig deep, gain riches and explore an underworld riddled with danger. But time is running short…

Who's going to be grabbing this one then?
