LINUX GAMING
While Epic Games is still hard at work on their Unreal Tournament game powered by Unreal Engine 4, this afternoon they surprisingly announced a new game: Paragon.

Details on Paragon are still very scarce, but it's safe to assume it will be an Unreal Engine 4 title. Paragon is expected to be released for PCs in "early 2016." It appears to be some sort of heroes-based first person shooter.

In announcing the new game, Epic Games put up this Paragon site but details are extremely limited. Epic Games will continue releasing new information about Paragon over the weeks ahead.

Given that Epic is supporting Unreal Tournament on Linux natively along with their Unreal Engine 4, it's likely safe to bet that a Linux / SteamOS version will be released of Paragon.


More details as they become available.
