Rocket League is still coming to Linux a developer has confirmed on reddit, but they have no idea when by the looks of it.
From reddit:
Update: Here's more
It's really good to see it re-confirmed since a lot of people have been thinking it was dropped.
It was originally announced for Linux/SteamOS in August 2015. Then it was due out December 2015, then delayed until around February 2016, then we were told another 6-8 weeks, then it was moved to Q2 2016 and now we have no ETA. You can see the saga by searching for Rocket League in our little search box. We have been given quite the runaround on it, sadly it seems we will just have to keep waiting.
I really do wonder what is holding it up. As usual, my main issue is the developers lack of communication. A little honesty about things goes a long way for me.
About the game
Soccer meets driving once again in the long-awaited, physics-based sequel to the beloved arena classic, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars!
A futuristic Sports-Action game, Rocket League®, equips players with booster-rigged vehicles that can be crashed into balls for incredible goals or epic saves across multiple, highly-detailed arenas. Using an advanced physics system to simulate realistic interactions, Rocket League® relies on mass and momentum to give players a complete sense of intuitive control in this unbelievable, high-octane re-imagining of association football.

QuoteIt is coming. We don't have firm release dates for these versions of the game yet, but we are planning to release on SteamOS and Mac as soon as they are in good place. I'm really sorry about the delays and thank you for your patience so far!

QuoteTrust me, I want to give you guys as much info as I can, but I'm not at the liberty to do so at the moment. As soon as I can feed you guys information, I will.

It may not just be the developer though, possibility absolutely can rest on the game engine not being solid enough. I know Euro Fishing has delayed their Linux port as they found the current version of UE4 to be too buggy for Linux, so hopefully after they are done with the XBox release UE4 will be a bit less buggy.
I am sure there are others, but perhaps we're just in a flux state? Vulkan having just arrived will take time to be fully supported in the current game engines and perhaps some developers would rather wait on that to arrive instead of then moving it over to Vulkan?
