By now most of you probably know about Avernum 2: Crystal Souls getting released this month, but here is the official statement form Spiderweb Software .

Avernum 2 Launches Jan 14th for Win & Mac

Famed RPG coming to Steam, GOG, Apple, Humble Store, and direct from SpiderwebSoftware.com

Jan 12th, 2015 – Spiderweb Software is excited to announce the second game in the Avernum series, the retelling of the classic Exile franchise from 1996. More information is available at http://www.avernum.com/avernum2/ or the Steam page at http://store.steampowered.com/app/337850.

The end has come. Years ago, your people were imprisoned in the underworld, doomed to end their lives in the darkness. Then that was not enough. Your captors have invaded your caves, determined to kill you all. They are winning the war.

Spiderweb Software, Inc. announced today their return to their epic Avernum saga, to continue the story of the underworld Avernites and the war against their oppressors. Avernum 2: Crystal Souls is the second chapter in this indie fantasy role-playing saga, a tale of desperate exiles and their battle for survival and a land to call their own.

The surface world is commanded by the tyrannical Empire, the eternal power that controls all known lands. Everyone who spoke out, misbehaved, or didn’t fit in was cast into the dark, volcanic pits of Avernum, far below the surface. They were meant to die. Instead, these exiles survived, gained power, and struck back. They assassinated the lord of the Empire.

Now the Empire will have revenge. They have invaded Avernum, seizing cave after cave and destroying your people. Your land needs a hero, and it needs it now. If you can’t find a way to stop them, and soon, you are all doomed.

Min requirements always make me chuckle:

OS: Vista
Processor: 800 MhZ processor
Memory: 512 MB RAM
Graphics: OpenGL-compatible
Hard Drive: 500 MB available space

800MHz CPU and 512MB RAM are actually Microsoft's minimum system requirements for Windows Vista too. Guess they can't even go any lower with those…

Linux Linux Linux !!! Then we can go lower Maybe even an atom tablet just for joker

It is refreshing to not have to worry if my aging PC will be able to handle a new release I always know i'll be able to play Spiderweb's games.

I was telling myself I didn't need to get this. Already played a different version of it and I have a big back log.

But who am I kidding, I'll buy day one.

Will not happen most probably. Quoting the developer from reddit

On a scale of 1 to 10, what are the chances of anything but Avadon hitting Linux?
I'm afraid our Linux efforts have always ended in horrible failure.

"No immediate plans" is different from "Nothing forever."

Well to be honest I think their game runs under wine so it already runs on linux

No, not correct.

Hell, I played both of the previous versions of it. And as much as I grumble about him reusing the same thing over and over, I'll probably end up getting this one as well (though perhaps not on day 1).
