There will be a Linux version released later this year as you can see on the store page!
I'd like to ask everyone to refrain from posting "+1 for linux/mac" comments. Please use the poll instead if you want to show your support but don't have anything valuable to contribute to this discussion. Thanks!

Hi Guys,
It might be beating a dead horse here but yes, we are working on a Linux version of Magicka 2.
Its planned to be released fall 2015. We do have dedicated resources for Linux so its not just something we do when we got some free time.

Yes, today is the big day. Somehow the content became available a bit early yesterday so we pulled it, but now it's back out there.

+1 for Linux, I heard good things about Magicka but I could never play it myself because of no Linux version.

Added poll for some visualization ;)

Would be awesome indeed. SteamOS is looking good.

Wishlisted! Full gamepad support, though? Please?

[zais]

I'll say gamepad will be on release (as it targeted to PS4 as well, and pre-release gameplay demos were with gamepads).

We need more Local Co-Op games for Steam OS, this is great. :)
