Tropico 5 is highly anticipated for Linux gamers and one I have been personally waiting for.

It will officially release on the 19th of September for us Linux gamers!

I can't wait to face off against Linux dictators in Tropico and pretend to be cooperative while building my weapons of mass destruction.

It has a 75/100 metacritic score, so it looks like it's doing pretty well too!

The confirmation comes from their official facebook page (English confirmation below this one):

QuoteNun ist die Katze aus dem Sack: TROPICO 5 Mac- und SteamOS-Version erscheint am 19. September auf Steam und auch im Mac AppStore. ‪#‎Tropico5‬ ‪#‎Mac‬ ‪#‎SteamOS‬

There's also the World of Tropico facebook which states it too:
