A Look At What Linux Games We Will See In 2015 And Beyond

By - | Views: 38,832
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.

Confirmed Games

Adventure Games
Firewatch
Paradise Lost: First Contact
Outcast 1.1
SteamWorld Heist

Action Games
Darksiders
Darksiders II
Ray's The Dead
Skullgirls

FPS Games
Bioshock Infinite
Half Life 3 /troll
Homefront: The Revolution
Insurgency
Killing Floor 2
Serious Sam 4 (No official site for it yet)
Storm United
SUPERHOT

Platformers
Broforce
Chasm
Giana Sisters
Heart Forth, Alicia
Hot Tin Roof
Infinifactory
Mighty No. 9
Night in the Woods
Noct
Oddworld: New 'N' Tasty
Red Goddess

Racing
Project Cars
Carmageddon: Reincarnation

RPG Games
Divinity: Original Sin
Pillars Of Eternity
Shadowrun: Hong Kong
The Banner Saga
Torment: Tides of Numenera

Strategy Games
Age of Wonders III
At The Gates
Banished
Cities: Skylines
Clockwork Empires
Parkitect
Scrolls
Space Pirates And Zombies 2

Sandbox Games
Terraria
X Rebirth

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.

Really looking forward to Heart Forth, Alicia and Red Goddess. Also Technobabylon (and possibly Shardlight and Automaticity) from Wadjet Eye Games and PONCHO. Both Technobabylon and PONCHO have spring 2015 as their ETAs.

Witcher 3, SOMA. But hoping for Hitman and Tomb

You've forgotten Project Cars! They've announced their game with a SteamOS for a long long time. And it's only the best looking car racing simulator ever for PC...!

There's only a Windows listing on Steam store, but SteamOS was confirmed a long time ago wasn't it?

Linux and Mac only late 2016.
Quoting: zed888I think Kingdom Come: Deliverance is supposed to be out this year. Really looking forward to that. Also Witcher 3...probably.

I am fairly certain there will be no Broforce for Linux. One of the devs said the only way they'd support Linux is if a third party handled the port - which seemed unlikely.

Quoting: GoCorinthiansWitcher 3

I hope, but I'm not so sure.

Do you have a link/source for that? As it's contrary to what I've read and would be a shame, plus it uses Unity so shouldn't be that hard.

I'm looking forward to Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, which is another missing from the above list.

Wanna add Insurgency and Blackguards 2.
Also CA promised to port Rome 2 more, then year ago. I hope, we`ll se this game on Linux.

Day of the tentacle special edition is coming to Linux too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Tentacle#Special_Edition
Sadly one of the games than I want the most on Linux (Cue club 2) still seems to be they are not interested for the moment.
