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.
What did we miss that you’re excited about for Linux?

As for the Feral link to upcoming ports:
It now(?) shows a signal labeled "Scorched Earth" with an iron fist icon.
I'm pretty sure now that this game is "Shadow of Mordor".
The first level is often described as a "scorched earth scenario" by reviewers
and certain important types of slaves in the game bear a "fist icon".
This only adds to the other, IMHO striking, hints:

So for Sunless Sea, they are out of Early Access - any idea on if the game sold enough to get a linux client?

I'm a bit sick of all these Kickstarter promised Linux ports that never show up... but Elite Dangerous promised one too so one could assume it will come out the same year as the Windows release...

Is the Linux version really confirmed? All I read is they were 'considering it' and 'looking into it'.

Apparently it is confirmed that they will look into it, LOL:
From http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Elite:_Dangerous_FAQ:
QuoteFrontier Developments have confirmed that they are evaluating support for the next-gen console platforms XBox One and Playstation 4[1] and also Linux desktop[2], but the initial release is only planned to support Windows and Mac OS X.
