It has recently popped up on SteamDB:

While it's never confirmed if a game will come to Linux when it is on SteamDB, it means it's a possibility.

About the Game
Stronghold 3 is the long-awaited third installment in the award winning castle-building series. Set 10 years after the original, the Wolf it seems, has cheated death and during his painful recovery he’s become even more bitter and twisted. Now he seeks revenge. Raiding villages and towns during the dead of night, the Wolf has created a tide of panic and you and your allies are the only force that stand against him. In this stunning new update to the world’s favorite Castle Sim - will you triumph by day or die by night?

Key features:
  • Build and manage mighty castles with an improved building system allowing unprecedented levels of realism and intricacy
  • Realistic physics and cutting-edge graphics make siege warfare more brutal than ever.
  • Watch your village spring to life in an amazing depiction of medieval village life
  • Story-driven gameplay engages players across two campaigns: combat or economic
  • Dramatic night time sieges add a new dimension to the Stronghold franchise
  • Besiege other players’ castles or defend your own in a range of action-packed online multiplayer modes
  • Attack or defend accurately re-created castles from the pages of history. Will you succeed where others failed?


The game going by the reviews isn't the most highly rated in the series sadly, if they really are porting this game it would be great to see the others. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Definitely the worst game from the whole Stronghold series with tragic rating on Metacritic >.>

It would be much better if they even decided to bring Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader with Wine to Linux and call it official >.>

My brother still pines for the one WINE version he had that managed to load Stronghold Crusader in a millisecond. He is still bitter about the regression.

Stronghold 1 & Stronghold Crusader were two of the best strategy games ever. Stronghold 2 and 3 had broken AI, that many times couldn't even attack you...
