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.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
The comments on this article are closed.
I know this is not really the place for this but I still don't get why porting the game to MacOS is easier than porting it to Linux >:(
Also thank you for the information about Sunless Sea, I'll wait until it's officially on Steam :)

A disappointment to see that OOTP wasn't accepted to the list. The company has been supporting Linux for a long time and they are making one of the best manager games available, OOTP16 will be released in March.

Quoting: kyokeiI know this is not really the place for this but I still don't get why porting the game to MacOS is easier than porting it to Linux >:(Because Mac OS X market is bigger, then Linux. And there are no horrible words for bissness, such as open-source and othes. And Mac OS X has standarts. And Linux doesn`t have them. When you port game on Mac OS X, it is Mac OS X. When you port on Linux, it is Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, OpenSUSE and hundreds others distro, and every distro has their own problems. Game works good on Ubuntu, has glitches on Kubuntu and crashes on OpenSUSE.
Also thank you for the information about Sunless Sea, I'll wait until it's officially on Steam :)
I hope, Steam OS will change this.
