14 DAY TRIAL // Empire: Total War, a real-time strategy game developed by The Creative Assembly and published by Sega, might be a getting a Linux release soon.
Empire: Total War is one of the most successful games in the entire franchise and now it shows up in the Steam database, under the Linux category. The title might have been initially developed by The Creative Assembly, but those developers only made the Windows version.
In fact, the game was ported on the Mac OS X platform by Feral Interactive and it's a good bet they will do the same with this game as well.
"Dominate the 18th century on land and sea. Command the seas, control the land, forge a new nation, and conquer the globe. Empire: Total War takes the Total War franchise to the eighteenth century Age of Enlightenment, a time of political upheaval, military advancements, and radical thought, captured in stunning detail in Empire: Total War," reads the Steam entry.
The information about the Linux version is taken from the Steam database, and by no means is it completely certain. The Steam Database is a record of data that describes every Steam game and subscription provided by Valve for the Steam service.
Usually, the new entries are first visible in the Steam Database before their official launch, but there is no indication about a release date.
