MX Nitro [Steam, Official Site] is another title that popped up on SteamDB today and the developers behind this motocross racing game stated on Steam it should arrive 'very soon'.

From the Steam forum post:
QuoteGlad you're waiting for linux build. I cannot announce any hard dates, but if all goes well linux\mac builds will be available very soon - the binaries you see is release candidates.

It's actually a game that was only released for Windows this year, so it's great to see it arrive for Linux so soon after the original release!

About the game
Pimp out everything: Kit out your favorite bike, suit up with custom outfits and take to the tarmac, dirt or wow the crowd in the arena! Keep winning to unlock unique rider skins, bike upgrades, ace challenges and grab achievements.

Pick a trick: With 55 unique stunts to learn you can make your mark mid-air. California Roll through the sand dunes, Tsunami over treetops or Whip, Flip and Coffin for the win. But get that timing right because eating dirt is never a good look.

Keep the engine revving: With a 40 hour Solo-campaign featuring head to head Boss-races, you can hone your skills for a lifetime of challenges against friends and other riders from around the world in online multiplayer. Have you got what it takes to challenge the daredevils and dominate the leaderboards?

Are the devs porting this themseles? As much as I love porters and porting houses such as Ethan Lee, Feral, and Aspyr, and I do, it's great when the game devs take the time to learn developing for Linux themselves :D

I played silly amounts of Trials Fusion back in the day, so this pleases me a lot!

Quoting: M@GOidLets hope too the gamepad support to be top notch. This is not the type of game you want to try your luck with a keyboard.

Hey magoid. Game do support xbox controller (was tested using valve patched xbox drivers).

However, it's fully playable on keyboard, and not with a large handicap.

Hey Luke. Many people seem to expect Trials Fusion gameplay, but it's not the same experience, so please be advised.

It looks fun, I haven't played a motocross game in ages so looking forward to this.

Watching the video, I see that. But it's still a similar style of game ;)

Note: The developer has sent me a key, so I will be able to take a look when it does arrive.

Ok, this smells like a purchase. I like the honest tone of this representative, too. That's how to communicate.

EDIT: I found a review of it too, and from our perspective it looks good:
http://www.psu.com/review/32207/mx-nitro-review

The cons of the game doesn't affect us much, since we don't have the competitors on our platform:

Little personality
Underwhelming presentation
All very familiar

The good sides are more meaty:
Plenty of customisation and upgrades
Decent controls
Bikes handle well

With the conclution: "MX Nitro needed something striking to get noticed, and it just doesn’t have that special spark. It remains a good motocross game, but one that consistently sits in the middle of the mud-sprayed pack."

All in all sounds like a nice title to get on our side of the ballpark.
