Aspyr Media announces the status of the promised OS X and Linux editions of Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth, saying these should be released in time for the holidays. "The teams from Firaxis and 2K have done an astounding job of expanding on the core Civ experience in Beyond Earth," said Aspyr Media’s Vice President of Publishing, Elizabeth Howard. "So, it’s exciting for us to be able to bring the same experience to Mac and Linux users everywhere." Word is this will include a bonus for preorders: "Mac and Linux users may pre-order a Steam code for the title at Aspyr’s online store GameAgent.com. All GameAgent pre-orders will include the Exoplanets Map Pack as a free bonus."
