According to a message yesterday on the X2 - The Threat mailing list by Michael Simms, the CEO of LGP (Linux Game Publishing), a new X2 Beta will be out shortly to the closed testing community, or they may even skip another Beta 6 release candidate and go straight to gold. The Linux port of X2 - The Threat has been available to LGP's closed testing community since late December, and to this point there have been six Beta releases. According to Mr. Simms message, they are still working on trying to make both OSS and ALSA work in the same binary. If they are skipping this final Beta, you can likely find this Linux-native game in the various Internet retailers in the near future. More information will be passed along upon hearing further updates.
