Pillars of Eternity, the massive RPG to come from Obsidian Entertainment & Paradox Interactive is set to release early next year, and it's now up for pre-order with Linux support.
Note: We never recommend pre-ordering to prevent being let down by last minute delays, which happen a lot.
It's another game we have Kickstarter funding to thank for, as it raised a massive $3.9 Million dollars on it. I don't personally fund anything now, but I am grateful for those who are willing to risk it so that the rest of us get some great games.
It really does look fantastic, and it's not surprising it's being called "the next great PC RPG" by a number of places.
About the game
Prepare to be enchanted by a world where the choices you make and the paths you choose shape your destiny. Obsidian Entertainment, the developer of Fallout: New Vegas™ and South Park: The Stick of Truth™, together with Paradox Interactive is proud to present Pillars of Eternity.
Recapture the deep sense of exploration, the joy of a pulsating adventure, and the thrill of leading your own band of companions across a new fantasy realm and into the depths of monster-infested dungeons in search of lost treasures and ancient mysteries.
So gather your party, venture forth, and embrace adventure as you delve into a realm of wonder, nostalgia, and the excitement of classic RPGs with Obsidian’s Pillars of Eternity!
You can grab it from GOG, Humble & Steam.

Quoting: GuestQuoting: MohandevirThis is what's great in the gaming offerings... There's plenty of choices for all kind of players. And now, we have that many choices even on Linux!Unfortunately that’s just not true.
Sorry you are right. The way I wrote it, it's like if we had the same choices than on other platforms and it's not true and it's not what I meant either. Should have re-read myself.
What I meant it's that with 786 games on Steam only... we are beginning to have an interresting offering. Could have more AAA titles (I hope it's a matter of time)but in comparison with the situation 3 years ago, when we could barely play on Linux whithout wine, It's much better now.

Quoting: GuestQuoting: MohandevirShould have re-read myself.No worries ;)… What I meant is: there is not a single (good, native, not top-down) racing game on Linux. Very few (playable, fun) solo FPS’s. The only western 3D action RPG is pathetic and unplayable. Very few and no good (Starcraft-quality) RTS.
Yeah racing is what's really missing right now. Hey?! What about Super Tux Cart? :)
Seriously I found this website about racing games on linux. Anyone tried some of these?
http://www.lgdb.org/category/genre/racing
Looking forward to Grid2 and Project Cars.
Edit:
In fact, I don't look to what's out on Windows. I just play the games that are offered to me on Linux and I'm quite happy with what's being offered.
I have 41 games, that I have played, in my librairie and 44 more in my Wishlist that I want to play.
Ive had a lot of fun playing The Witcher 2 and look forward to The Witcher 3. Right now, I really enjoy XCom: Ennemy Unknown. Played through Metro Last Light and the Half Life series and enjoyed them. And today, I got this news about Pillars of Eternity and Chivalry Medieval Warfare and these are 2 games that I will enjoy too. What else? Sanctum 2 and Natural Selection 2 that I had fun with. I also keep an eye on Interstellar Marines and Wasteland 2 and I hope to see Homefront 2 and Metro 2033 appear in the Steam store in a near future.
Forgot to mention Portal and Portal II.
Oh! War Thunder.
Not a bad lineup, IMO...

I agree with you on racing games, because besides race the sun and flatout, there isn't much else. However, I disagree with you on everything else. Most of the FPSs on my steam library I play as single player only (I'm not including puzzlers like Portal). As for 3D action RPGs, the Witcher 2 runs well for me, and there are a few other 3D actions RPGs on Linux (Borderlands, Planet Explorers, Mount and Blade, Dungeon Defenders, etc). As for very few RTS games, it's the same on Windows really. Nearly most Strategy games that come out are turn based. I'm a big RTS fan, I can tell you that there has barely been in any decent RTS games that came out in the past 4 years.

I already have a pre ordered copy thanks to donating to the project 2 years ago. I had no choice since Obsidian Etertainment is my favorite developer of all time who creates games from my favorite genre of all time (Western RPGs). :D

IMHO, there is such a wide variety of games for Linux, there is, by now, something to suit just about every type of gamer. Yes, there will always be games for Windows that cannot run in wine, but I'm not interested in a lot of them, when I can play CIV V, EU IV, X-COM, The Witcher 2, Borderlands 2, Dominions 4,
This was the second project (after Fallout 3) that I Kickstarted, and, BOY am I eager to play!

Little Racers STREET is an excellent racing game, loads of fun.

I understand, it was just a suggestion.
FYI this game is no more in early access. It's been officially released a couple of weeks ago and I think, but I may be wrong, that they added a solo campaign of some sort.
Edit:
"Epic Single-Player - Galactic War is a twist on traditional real-time strategy campaigns that has players battling across a dynamic galaxy filled with procedurally-generated content. Every playthrough is different. Annihilation is final."
Found that on Steam.
