Painkiller Hell & Damnation, a remake and a sequel for the immensely popular Painkiller made by People Can Fly in 2004, will be arriving on Linux, soon.

The original announcement was made a couple of months ago, but the Linux version has been delayed for a while.

Painkiller Hell & Damnation uses Unreal Engine 3 and recreates the gameplay of the original Painkiller, but it also adds new levels and weapons.

The information about the impending release of the Linux version is taken from the CDR database and by no means is it completely certain. The CDR Database is a record of data that describes every Steam game and subscription provided by Valve for the Steam service.

Usually, the new entries in the Steam database are first visible in the CDR Database before their official launch.
