We're happy to announce that we will support both." He added that several of its games will also be making their way to Atom processor-powered Android phones soon.

Developers will also get the new Mecanim system for making character animation easier, on top of DirectX 11 for Windows and Flash publishing options. Details are in the video after the break, but it's good news considering how Linux's namesake just decried the lack of love for the platform.
