I know quite a few people who will be waiting on this, and it looks like The Banner Saga is preparing their Linux release now.
Going by recent SteamDB activity, it looks positive:
Again, we need to state that SteamDB is not official confirmation, and should always be taken with a grain of salt, but it means something positive is happening for us.
About the game (From Steam)
Live through an epic role-playing Viking saga where your strategic choices directly affect your personal journey. Make allies as you travel with your caravan across this stunning yet harsh landscape. Carefully choose those who will help fight a new threat that jeopardizes an entire civilization. Every decision you make in travel, conversation and combat has a meaningful effect on the outcome as your story unfolds. Not everyone will survive, but they will be remembered.
Features
- Player choice that drives your own narrative – every decision you make in travel, conversation and combat has a meaningful effect on the outcome as your story unfolds.
- Over 25 playable characters from 2 different races, human and varl, the horned giants – embark on your epic journey with a variety of characters from 7 different classes, each with unique abilities and upgrade options to fit your play style.
- Strategic combat with consequences - victory or defeat and even the permanent loss of a character depends on which characters you choose to take into battle and what decisions you make afterwards.
- The journey is as important as battle – your role in building and managing your caravan as you travel the vast frozen landscape is critical to not only your own survival but the survival of an entire civilization.
- An epic Viking saga brought to life in 2D glory – beautifully hand drawn combat sequences and animations, accompanied by an evocative score from Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory, will immerse you into a fantasy realm inspired by Norse mythology.
- Multiplayer Combat Enhanced – sharpen your combat skills in the free multiplayer game “Factions”. Compete against other players with many of the character classes you see in The Banner Saga.
The Banner Saga is the first part of a planned trilogy. If you complete this game, your unique progress and storyline will carry over to the next part of the story. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I own it already but I haven't played it yet. Looks like I'll be holding off playing it until I can do so on Linux. Hopefully GOG gets the Linux version as well as Steam.

Backed this up and while I still think the game looks interesting it has vanished from my radar screen completely. I've kind of written this game off. Like others have said already, it's part of my experience that's not worth backing games up (the exception proves the rule).
