This is completely unconfirmed, but "The Witcher 2 Linux Beta Retail" is now an entry on SteamDB as of today.
About
Thanks to the new, ultra-modern REDengine, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings features both beautiful graphics and sophisticated in-game mechanics, drawing players into the most lively and believable world ever created in a video game.
Defining new standards for realistic, non-linear game narration, The Witcher 2 spins a mature, thought-provoking tale to produce one of the most complex and unique RPGs ever released on consoles. In addition to its epic story, the game features a complex combat system that uniquely combines dynamic action and tactical depth.
This is crazy, it's a fantastic looking game and I am so full of excitement right now it's unreal.

Quoting: GuestIf they could release The Witcher 1 too
With my somewhat vested interested in games based on BioWare's Aurora engine, I'd be quite interested in that as well. :P
I'd especially like to see how they'll handle the Lua scripts. The Windows version was released with compiled Lua scripts, which are quite icky to work with.

Quoting: ShmerlHow is Xoreos project doing by the way? It was supposed to target Witcher 1 too.
I started changing the codebase to use Ogre (*) (ogrewip branch in the public repository on GitHub), but it's unfortunately stalled again at the moment, as my RL takes up time.
In either case, The Witcher is a potential target, yes, but it's not in anyway close to even consider the work to have been started. That said, resource loading works; videos, sound and music plays; and I even started reading the model files. But that's about it: currently, xoreos only shows a model and plays a sound when starting The Witcher.
(*) Something I'm still not all that happy about. I keep having to write around Ogre idiosyncracies, and apart from the general Ogre issues unrelated to OpenGL, I also lack the OpenGL knowledge to know whether what I'm doing makes sense there.

The Witcher 2 turned up in my Linux-library on Steam today. Seem to be able to download it as well, not sure if it works when downloaded though.
It's a good game and it's great to see it on Linux.
