Massive scale city-builder Songs of Syx gets a new world map, Total War styled conquests | GamingOnLinux
After the initial Early Access success where Songs of Syx managed to quickly shift over 11,000 copies the developer has been toiling away on a massive update that's now in Beta.
What is Songs of Syx? A fantasy city-builder where you start off as an insignificant colony and build, scheme, and fight your way towards a metropolis and empire. It blends together elements of so many different games into quite a unique experience, and now even more so. V58 Conquest adds in entirely new game mechanics for the overworld, along with a big visual refresh and it looks quite fantastic. There's also now "basic Civilization/Total war mechanics" allowing you to " sally forth and conquer your foes and do that which Conan the Barbarian loves so".

Albion Online continues to see big player counts, with lots more to come on the roadmap | GamingOnLinux
After a successful launch on mobile which saw player numbers explode, the cross-platform Albion Online is getting some more big upgrades.
Sandbox Interactive shared earlier in June that player numbers jumped to a new record of over 270,000 daily active. An impressive number for an indie MMO to be hitting, which is boosted thanks to now being available across Linux, macOS, Windows and mobile all together.
It's quite an exciting time for the game as the developer has published a small look into what to expect from the next major content update. Scheduled to release this year, their plan is to really bring the open-world gameplay into focus with a biome appearance upgrade with fancier graphics, higher-tier areas will also get a more unique look and feel, a reworking of region layouts to make them easier to navigate and they plan to ensure each biome type has a clear theme recognizable from the region map.

Command & Conquer - Combined Arms blends many factions into one big package | GamingOnLinux
Love your classic RTS games? I sure do and thanks to the power of the OpenRA game engine reimplementation you can try out Command & Conquer - Combined Arms which bundles many factions from different C&C games together.
It lets you answer the question of who would win in a fight between the Soviets and the Scrin? Or perhaps the Soviets versus the Brotherhood of Nod? That and more can be done with Combined Arms a cross-platform blending of the Allies, Soviets, Nod, GDI and the Scrin into one game. This doesn't just take OpenRA and the classic Westwood factions and bundle them though, as it does do plenty of tweaks with elements taken from Tiberium Dawn, Red Alert, Tiberium Sun, Red Alert 2 & Generals.
