Legendary is an open-source game launcher that can download and install games from the Epic Games platform on Linux and Windows.
|
||||
It's name as a tongue-in-cheek play on tiers of [item rarity in many MMORPGs](https://wow.gamepedia.com/Quality).
|
||||
|
||||
Right now it is in an early public testing stage and still needs a lot of work to work. But it does work!
|
||||
Right now Legendary is in beta and not feature-complete. You might run into some bugs or issues.
|
||||
If you do please [create an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/derrod/legendary/issues/new) so we can fix it.
|
||||
|
||||
**What works:**
|
||||
- Authenticating with Epic's service
|
||||
- Downloading and installing your games and their DLC
|
||||
- Delta patching/updating of installed games
|
||||
- Launching games with online authentication (for multiplayer)
|
||||
- Downloading existing cloud saves
|
||||
- Launching games with online authentication (for multiplayer/DRM)
|
||||
- Syncing cloud saves (compatible with EGL)
|
||||
- Running games with WINE on Linux
|
||||
|
||||
**Planned:**
|
||||
- Simple GUI for managing/launching games
|
||||
- Importing installed games from the EGS launcher
|
||||
- Importing/Exporting installed games from/to the Epic Games Launcher
|
||||
- Better interfaces for other developers to use Legendary in their projects
|
||||
- Lots and lots of bug fixes, optimizations, and refactoring...

Authentication is a little finicky since we have to go through the Epic website. The login page should open in your browser and after logging in you should be presented with a JSON response that contains a code, just copy and paste the code into your terminal to log in.
|
||||
On Windows you can use the `--import` flag to import the authentication from the Epic Games Launcher. Note that this will log you out of the Epic Launcher.
