Umm it's next id:s game release. Uses hevily modified id tech 4 engine(doom3) on opengl, so it should be very easy to port on linux(readed somewhere that linux ports are made from one guy in id-tech). Well all untrustworthy wikipedia even says that it will come to linux:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfenstein_(video_game)
Well I think it will be ported short after windows release. Maybe they release demo first... check the ftp site after windows release:

Publisher for wolfenstein is activision as was for rtcw:
Wolfenstein: Youngblood is the first modern co-op Wolfenstein adventure. Team up with a friend or play solo as one of BJ Blazkowicz’s twin daughters and wield a powerful arsenal of new weapons, gadgets, and abilities to liberate Paris from the Nazis.
Nah I don't believe that publisher matter a lot, if id want's to make port to linux they don't ad it with game-dvds. They just make a downloadable linux-binary installer on ftp site where you need data paks from game-dvd. For game servers there will absolutely come linux dedicated binaries.Last edited by tuke81; 07 April 2009, 06:38 PM.

Everyone thinks that NWN was allowed by the publisher- if Atari had any real say in that one, it would not have happened. BioWare'd made commitments to the world and it was sort of a done deal for at least an unofficial Linux version of the thing (We won't get into the story of why we don't have an official published version...). And if you aren't a big boy like iD, 3DR, Epic, BioWare, etc. you're not going to be in a position to do what you want on things like this.
