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.

I'd say the main reason for worrying is that actual preorder pages don't say anything about Linux at all.

There were games before without the Linux icon (Metro Last Light) that had Linux versions, but I am surprised to see no "SteamOS" announcements on the preorder page.

No matter what, as soon as there is a Linux icon on the page of TW3, consider it bought. I love CDPR for their drm policy, I like TW series, and I really appreciate they try to bring it to us - the linux gamers. No matter what the current state of TW2 is, I'm sure they'll try to do better on TW3.

I have a bad news: the game isn't announced (yet?) for Linux, I asked their support about that.
In detail, I asked the GOG support where to buy the game to have Linux and Windows versions. This is their reply:
Damn!

@ziabice: I got the same response. What it means that nothing official is announced and you shouldn't make preorders based on speculations. However there is still hope. Note the language "as for now", which can hint to the fact that something is going on. But they won't get my money until the official confirmation.
Still, it would be interesting to find out what that Steam ad was about. Someone in Valve jumped the gun? Or it was a bad joke?
