About Arx Libertatis

Arx Libertatis is a cross-platform, open source engine port of Arx Fatalis, the 2002 first-person role-playing game by Arkane Studios. It updates and improves the original game by supporting modern systems, porting it to new platforms, and fixing bugs and limitations. It is based on the publicly released Arx Fatalis source code under GPL 3+, but it does not include the game data; a copy of the original Arx Fatalis or its demo is required to play. Official builds are provided for Windows and Linux, with packages for macOS, FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Haiku and Pandora. Future plans include modernizing the engine and enabling community customizations and mods.
