Aspyr Media have announced that the Linux version of Civilization: Beyond Earth will release on Thursday at 12PM CST/6PM UTC.

If you're going to pre-order it or buy it, then be sure to do it through GameAgent. That link supports us too (full disclosure and all that).

About the game
Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth is a new science-fiction-themed entry into the award-winning Civilization series. Set in the future, global events have destabilized the world leading to a collapse of modern society, a new world order and an uncertain future for humanity. As the human race struggles to recover, the re-developed nations focus their resources on deep space travel to chart a new beginning for mankind.

As part of an expedition sent to find a home beyond Earth, you will write the next chapter for humanity as you lead your people into a new frontier and create a new civilization in space. Explore and colonize an alien planet, research new technologies, amass mighty armies, build incredible Wonders and shape the face of your new world. As you embark on your journey you must make critical decisions. From your choice of sponsor and the make-up of your colony, to the ultimate path you choose for your civilization, every decision opens up new possibilities. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

OHSHI-

I don't finish work until the 24th, but the games keep on piling up!

This is by no means a bad thing, I just wish someone would see to that 12 day weekend I keep wishing for. :D

Release date correlates with winter sale begin. Pure coincidence!

This game will probably be great once the expansion packs start rolling out. Until then however I just can't get myself to purchase this when I own Civ 5 plus all of the expansions.
