Today, September 29, 2016, is another great day for Linux gamers all over the globe, as Feral Interactive proudly announced the availability of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II Chaos Rising and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II Retribution on the SteamOS, Linux, and Mac platforms.

Released back in 2010 by developer Relic Entertainment, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II Chaos Rising was only available for the Microsoft Windows operating system. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II Retribution followed a year later to continue the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II series set in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 fictional universe.

"The grim dark future is now, with Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II out for Mac and Linux," says Feral Interactive in today's announcement. "Lead an elite strike force of Space Marines in an interplanetary campaign that combines brutal combat with relentlessly fast-paced missions. Direct your squads to the Feral Store to seize Dawn of War II, Chaos Rising and Retribution, or get all three in the Master Collection."

To play the games on your Linux gaming rig, Steam and Feral Interactive recommend that you run the 64-bit version of either Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or Steam OS 2.0, and have a computer powered by a 3 GHz processor, 8GB of RAM, an Nvidia 9xx series graphics card with at least 2GB RAM, 8GB free disk space, and the Nvidia 367.35 video driver.
