The upcoming sixth game in the Tex Murphy series, "Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure", developed by Big Finish Games, will be released for Linux. The game began production due to a successful Kickstarter campaign last June, were BFG managed to accumulate over 657k dollars (Kickstarter + Paypal).
Until now the game was only announced for Windows and Mac. However Steve, a BFG employee, wrote this on the official, private Backers blog:
In "Tesla Effect", which can be described as a mixture of classic film-noir and science fiction, you will pry around as Tex Murphy (played by series creator Chris Jones), a hard-boiled gumshoe detective living in dystopian post-World War III San Francisco in the 2040s. Like its three precursors ("Under a Killing Moon", "The Pandora Directive", "Overseer"), the game will be a first person adventure game featuring freely explorable 3D environments during gameplay and live-action full-motion video sequences during cut-scenes.
The game is scheduled to be released in early spring 2014. Some new information will likely be released on September 6th, where BFG game will host a panel at Salt Lake Comic Con.

QuoteThere WILL be a Linux version of Tesla Effect--though it *may* not be available at launch.
I don't really have much more to say about this, so don't bombard me with questions

As a big Tex Murphy fan, this looks like everything I was hoping for - and now I can even play it natively on Linux, which is fantastic.
For everyone not familiar with the old Tex Murphy games and interested after watching the video, you can buy them on GOG.com (but be aware that Overseer isn't using Dosbox and can be fickle in Wine.)
