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

By - | Views: 38,443
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

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.

Divinity: Original Sin is an RPG, not a platformer. :)

This list looks really good. A nice mix of indies and bigger budget games.

Shadowrun: Hong Kong will have a Linux version and is supposed to release in mid-2015.
Also, Chivalry, depending on whether you count the beta as already on Linux.
Nice to see lots of good games coming.

Yeah, I've added Shadowrun since I guess it has hit the goal for Linux, but I don't count games already playable in beta as "coming".

Isn't Company of Heroes 2 supposed to be on Linux? And how about Marvel Heroes 2015 (MMORPG)? :)

I don't think Linux was a stretch goal for Shadowrun. It was listed right from the start.

You're right I was thinking of Underworld Ascendant, my bad.

Do we have any word on Hellraid? Given that the engine runs on linux...and dying light was released same day...

I think Kingdom Come: Deliverance is supposed to be out this year. Really looking forward to that. Also Witcher 3...probably.
