This is the image that showed up on Steam's home-page:
I am really hoping it will be a native port since the eON technology isn't for me up to scratch at all, but maybe in future it will be who knows. They have until February 2015 to sort out the Linux version, so one would hope it will be a decent port regardless of the tech used to bring it to our platform.
If it is a real port it will blow pretty much any other action+rpg type game we have right now away.
About
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven, next-generation open world role-playing game, set in a graphically stunning fantasy universe, full of meaningful choices and impactful consequences. In The Witcher, you play as Geralt of Rivia, one of a dying caste of monster hunters, and embark on an epic journey in a war-ravaged world that will inevitably lead you to confront a foe darker than anything humanity has faced so far—the Wild Hunt.
This is great news to see CD PROJEKT RED take notice of Linux. This news follows on from the fact that GOG.com's new game client will eventually support Linux too.
UPDATE: It seems someone flipped a switch too early and it may not even happen. That's quite a big derp someone did. See our comments for more info. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

No way I'm preordering this without confirmation this will be a native port.
Doing a native W2 Linux port would have been an opportunity for CD Project to learn from.
A missed opportunity...

The eON wrapper exist only for Directx9 game's not Dx10/11 ...
TW3 will use Dx11 so we can imagine a real port to Linux.

No way this is going to be a proper port. And, like I said, I'm willing to bet 10€.
In either case, I'm not really that much into the Witcher series. I just can't stand Geralt. Cyberpunk 2077, however...

I'm one of those cynical type persons who tend to fear that what I'm told isn't true until I have the damn thing in my hands. I'm also one of those weird people for whom the linux port of the Witcher 2 works quite well. The single core cpu limitation mostly comes up for me in level loading and such, not in terms of framerate, which is usually pretty decent. Really glad to see linux support strongly hinted at.

Will "The Witcher 3" get a day 1 Linux version? I am super excited about it, finished both games and want to know how the story ends ;)

Things change, Opengl on Mac is like traveling into the past, so with Linux ports first we have a better chance to be at the same level with Windows. Also the eON wrapper is still under development for Linux, if you want to help improve it for future eON ports, then help the devs. I think they would appreciate it.
Here is the link:

And also yes we expect better ports, if Mac people don't care then it is their problem.
Quoting: DeformalStrange thing. People hope to get on Linux better port, than on Mac.
Nobody don`t want to know about Mac ports. But Linux get port from Metro last ligth of same quality as Mac port. Witcher 2 get equal ports for Mac and Linux.
So if game get bad port on Mac, don`t expect to get good port on Linux because games get Mac os port first.

Not really, while at this point there are more Mac gamers on Steam, they generally don't have gaming rigs, Imacs and Macbooks usually have integrated graphics and custom built Macs are a rarity. Linux on the other hand is going to be used as a gaming OS when Steam Machines launch, much bigger potential.

Unfortunately, the Temporal Accord forbids that.

I'd rather hang myself.
Not even if the wrapper was FLOSS. Not even if it was FLOSS and they'd pay me.
