While it's sad that Shadow Warrior 2 won't see a day-1 Linux release, in the meantime you can fill the void with the original 1997 version of the game, which has become FREE on GOG. It’s true that this classic version was already free on Steam since a long time ago, but it never had a Linux version there.

You can download this free classic version from its respective GOG Store page. You’ll get both official expansions (Wanton Destruction and Twin Dragon) as well.

Finally, on a side note, GOG also released Shadow Warrior Classic Redux on the same day, but unfortunately without Linux support, so if you prefer this enhanced remake, you will have to go to Steam. Plus, keep in mind that you’ll have to pay for this newer version.

About the game (Official)
From the creators of Duke Nukem 3D, comes the ever-explosive, forever controversial Shadow Warrior, a first-person shooter that takes the Build engine to its extreme limits. Offering a destructible environment with a bevy of weapons--ranging from razor-sharp katanas, 4-barrel shotguns, and even your own fists--Shadow Warrior is sure to satisfy the hunger for some Lo Wang and not leave you hungry an hour later.

Shadow Warrior Classic Redux is still $9.99 and is only available for Win/Mac

Shadow Warrior Classic Complete is available for Win/Mac/Linux and is free :)

Yup, still free. This one is a nicely wrapped dosbox version. The redux is a real port I guess. Thank you for sharing the news :)

I imagine Classic Redux will be on Linux from GOG when Galaxy is.

It was great of them to do this. Now to mod so that I can play it without it hurting my eyes. I had to do the same to Duke and DooM.

As a side note: the game isn't available in all countries. If you follow the link and are taken to the catalogue page instead of the games page, the game most probably isn’t available in your country. If you still want to get it you have to visit GOG.com with another IP address.
