Overlord Is Being Released For Linux Tomorrow

Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Gaming on 20 July 2016 at 09:13 AM EDT. 8 Comments

Just one day after Virtual Programming released a new teaser video for Overlord on Linux, the OSX/Linux game porting company announced their release date for the game that is coming to Linux and Mac, the better part of a decade after the Windows release.

In a new teaser video posted this morning by Virtual Programming, they revealed the game is set to be released for Linux tomorrow -- 21 July. But it's not immediately clear if that's also the release date for the Overlord II port as well.

I don't know off hand if Overlord has any built-in benchmark capabilities (if anyone who played it on Windows is aware, please post in the forums), but if there is, I'll gladly run some GPU/driver performance tests on Linux with the new titles.
