It's now officially confirmed that Two Point Hospital, which is developed by Two Point Studios made up of developers previously from Bullfrog, Muckyfoot and Lionhead and published by SEGA will be released for Linux.
In a bit of a mad dash to find information now that the release date of August 30th is confirmed, I managed to get it confirmed from their official Twitter account (we didn't get a press release—we should hopefully be on their list now after a chat):
Yes! We're launching on PC, Mac and Linux!
They also just put this post up on Steam which also confirms it.
Absolutely awesome news, as a massive fan of Theme Hospital, it's going to be fantastic to have it on Linux. Much like that classic, Two Point Hospital will see you attempt to cure all sorts of weird illnesses.

I have theme hospital, a great game, and very similar. If this is half as good it's worth buying.

*sigh* wishlisted...
I played the hell out of theme hospital years ago and it is the only computer game my wife ever played for more than 30seconds (helps she works for the NHS).

What is this mythical "PC" operating system they are launching on? Does Two Point Hospital support PC-DOS?

I have insanely high hopes for this.
Theme Hospital was one of the greatest games ever. I really hope they manage to capture the same humour and charm of the original.

I wonder if they have bloated head syndrome?
Part of me hopes so but part of me also wants new crazy diseases and funky cures with a larger management theme

YES, YES, YESSSSSSS.
This is the best news I have had in ages. I am a huge Theme Hospital fan and was praying for a Linux release. This is a guaranteed day 1 purchase for me.
A huge thanks to both SEGA and Two Point Studios for the Linux support.

I'm not very much into sim games. I only need to play one every couple of years to satisfy my itch, even though I really liked Theme Hospital and Sim City 2000 when I was a kid. This Two Point Hospital trailer is pretty convincing that the itch is back. :)
