Master of Orion, the revamp, not the original, has been updated again and it finally includes fixes for troubles a bunch of Linux players had been having.
Feral Interactive have made the Realm of the Wood Elves DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER compatible with Linux. Easily my favourite race, so I can't wait to play them.

The news doing the rounds right now is that the Nintendo Switch, the new gaming device from Nintendo will use Vulkan. People are getting rather excited and thinking it will mean more Linux ports, but right now it won't.

With Wine 2.0 right around the corner, the Wine development team has released RC2 of Wine 2.0. No new features as they are in a code-freeze, but it has 20 bugs fixed.
After a few years of delay, the spiritual and thematic successor to Planescape: Torment finally gets a release date. The RPG should be available on February 28th.
