By - | Views: 39,002
Linux Gaming is dead they said, Linux Gaming is pointless they said...ah whatever. Here’s a look at what’s to come for us in 2015 and beyond.

It's pretty hard to keep up with everything that's going on for us, but here's a quick look at what we could see soon.

Sports
Out of the Park Baseball 16

Unconfirmed, but highly likely (or confirmed and for some reason not quite as solid)
Company of Heroes 2
Outlast
Shadow Warrior
Sunless Sea - The developers have experimental builds for Linux, but it depends how the Windows version sells (from my email chat with them)
Torchlight II

Then there’s the two ports teased from Feral Interactive, we can’t let them be left out just because we don’t know what they are.

We imagine Aspyr Media are also working on new bigger ports, but they have only just released their latest game, so it may be a few months until we see anything.

This isn't a complete list of course, as we can easily forget with the sheer amount of games heading our way, and wow what a list!

We have GDC next month, and we are expecting a few announcements too. While we don't have anything solid, with Valve's big presence with Steam Machines we are expecting at least some more Linux games, otherwise it we fear it may be a little lacklustre for Valve to only show off older existing games for Linux.

How about Payday 2?

As for the Feral link to upcoming ports:

It now(?) shows a signal labeled "Scorched Earth" with an iron fist icon.
I'm pretty sure now that this game is "Shadow of Mordor".

The first level is often described as a "scorched earth scenario" by reviewers
and certain important types of slaves in the game bear a "fist icon".

This only adds to the other, IMHO striking, hints:

So for Sunless Sea, they are out of Early Access - any idea on if the game sold enough to get a linux client?

I'm a bit sick of all these Kickstarter promised Linux ports that never show up... but Elite Dangerous promised one too so one could assume it will come out the same year as the Windows release...

Is the Linux version really confirmed? All I read is they were 'considering it' and 'looking into it'.

Apparently it is confirmed that they will look into it, LOL:

From http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Elite:_Dangerous_FAQ:
QuoteFrontier Developments have confirmed that they are evaluating support for the next-gen console platforms XBox One and Playstation 4[1] and also Linux desktop[2], but the initial release is only planned to support Windows and Mac OS X.
