Linux Gaming is dead they said, Linux Gaming is pointless they said...ah whatever. Here’s a look at what’s to come for us in 2015 and beyond.
It's pretty hard to keep up with everything that's going on for us, but here's a quick look at what we could see soon.
Confirmed Games
Adventure Games
Firewatch
Paradise Lost: First Contact
Outcast 1.1
SteamWorld Heist
Action Games
Darksiders
Darksiders II
Ray's The Dead
Skullgirls
FPS Games
Bioshock Infinite
Half Life 3 /troll
Homefront: The Revolution
Insurgency
Killing Floor 2
Serious Sam 4 (No official site for it yet)
Storm United
SUPERHOT
Platformers
Broforce
Chasm
Giana Sisters
Heart Forth, Alicia
Hot Tin Roof
Infinifactory
Mighty No. 9
Night in the Woods
Noct
Oddworld: New 'N' Tasty
Red Goddess
Racing
Project Cars
Carmageddon: Reincarnation
RPG Games
Divinity: Original Sin
Pillars Of Eternity
Shadowrun: Hong Kong
The Banner Saga
Torment: Tides of Numenera
Strategy Games
Age of Wonders III
At The Gates
Banished
Cities: Skylines
Clockwork Empires
Parkitect
Scrolls
Space Pirates And Zombies 2
Sandbox Games
Terraria
X Rebirth
Sports
Out of the Park Baseball 16
Unconfirmed, but highly likely (or confirmed and for some reason not quite as solid)
Company of Heroes 2
Outlast
Shadow Warrior
Sunless Sea - The developers have experimental builds for Linux, but it depends how the Windows version sells (from my email chat with them)
Torchlight II
Then there’s the two ports teased from Feral Interactive, we can’t let them be left out just because we don’t know what they are.
We imagine Aspyr Media are also working on new bigger ports, but they have only just released their latest game, so it may be a few months until we see anything.
This isn't a complete list of course, as we can easily forget with the sheer amount of games heading our way, and wow what a list!
We have GDC next month, and we are expecting a few announcements too. While we don't have anything solid, with Valve's big presence with Steam Machines we are expecting at least some more Linux games, otherwise it we fear it may be a little lacklustre for Valve to only show off older existing games for Linux.

There's a game called The Mandate which got kickstarted last year that I'm really looking forward to. Space RTS/RPG stuff and it's coming out for linux too. Sometime this year.

Quoting: N30NQuoting: rustybroomhandleI am fairly certain there will be no Broforce for Linux. One of the devs said the only way they'd support Linux is if a third party handled the port - which seemed unlikely.Do you have a link/source for that? As it's contrary to what I've read and would be a shame, plus it uses Unity so shouldn't be that hard. I'm looking forward to Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, which is another missing from the above list.
Found one of the two comments I was thinking of, which still sounds like they are doing it, so that's cool. There was a second comment that's a bit more negative, but I can't find it. It's on our local dev forums so would rather not link it here. I can PM you the link to the discussion.
"We might still port it to Linux, because I think we promised it (as I recall), though I'm not looking forward to it, but maybe we'll try outsource the support for the port or something."

Couple of huge games are missing from the list (mentioned in other posts as well):
RPG - Torment: Tides of Numenera
Grand strategy - Hearts of Iron IV
Manager game - Out of the Park Baseball 16
OOTP-series has long history of Linux ports.

Quoting: KeizgonQuoting: fleskIn addition to that, there's Puzzle Bots (by the creator of Gravity Ghost by the way) [...]
Are you sure Lively Ivy and Ivy Games LLC (Gravity Ghost) aren't two different companies? If they are the same developer, I might give it a look, but I haven't found confirmation of this. I found Gravity Ghost to be a wonderful game and experience.
I meant Erin Robinson specifically, and yeah, I'm pretty sure. If not, she has done nothing to correct the association in a dozen interviews I've read. Puzzle Bots is a neat puzzle game with a story about friendship. It's nowhere near as deep and emotional as Gravity Ghost though.
