14 DAY TRIAL // Pirates, Vikings, and Knights II, a free mod for Half-Life 2 developed and published by Octoshark Studios, will arrive on Steam for Linux soon.
This is actually a mod for Half-Life 2 and its developers don't charge any money for it. All you need to do is install Half-Life 2, which already has Linux support, and play the game, once they finish the porting process.
"Pirates, Vikings and Knights II pits three teams against each other in a struggle for wealth, power and total domination. The game features many different game modes including Territory, where players fight to control key locations in the map; Holy Grail, where players seek to hold the holy trinket and use its powers against the other teams; Booty, where players fight to capture and hold chests of treasure; and more," reads the synopsis on Steam.
The information about the Linux port has been spotted in the Steam database, although it's not certain that the title will actually land on Linux. Usually, a game is listed in this database right before it's released, so the Pirates, Vikings, and Knights II should be really close.
The system requirements are the same as those for Half-Life 2, which are actually very permissive. We'll inform the Linux users when the game actually lands on Steam.
