Mac and Linux aren’t exactly known for their gaming prowess as much as Windows is, but many developers have been jumping onto these alternative operating systems lately. CCP Games is the latest to announce that they will be bringing their popular MMOG Eve Online to the aforementioned platforms later this year. This comes as part of a partnership with TransGaming, who offers tools to port software to Linux and Mac.

EVE Online was previously offered to Linux via Cedega, a software that allows Windows games to run on the Linux completely transparently and seamlessly. It was the popularity of this solution that prompted them to further integrate the game for the platform.

“We’re pleased to extend our relationship with TransGaming, as the company’s expertise allows us to deliver the most innovative MMOG to more platforms,” said Halldor Fannar, CTO of CCP Games. “By integrating TransGaming’s excellent technology, we are able to keep our laser-focus on evolving EVE Online, while simultaneously expanding the EVE universe to even more players.”
