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.

Scrolls
Space Pirates And Zombies 2

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.

Samorost3 is planned for 2015. Sadly there isn't much information about it yet, the teaser that was released only states "on the PC [such an ambiguous term], Mac, iOS and Android". All their last games were also released on Linux, so I have good hope for it! :)

Quoting: GuestQuoting: InterzeroidWanna add Insurgency and Blackguards 2.
Also CA promised to port Rome 2 more, then year ago. I hope, we`ll se this game on Linux.
From where do you get your information about Blackguards 2?
Was wondering the same thing. Quick google search shows there's an entry on steamdb: https://steamdb.info/depot/314833/subs/
Fingers crossed...

If its 2015 and beyond, add unreal tournament. Linux was confirmed. Also...if we push a little bit, they will release fornite too. They only have to go to unreal engine options and press the "cook for linux" button. :P

Yeah, me too. The Linux builds of the first three games were in testing for several months though, so it's hard to say how long it might take. They are also very conscious of their marketing, so it's possible that they try to hold out for a bundle again or something to make sure they get the most out of their Linux débuts. Primordia is also already ported, so that should come this year too.
In addition to that, there's Puzzle Bots (by the creator of Gravity Ghost by the way) and Resonance, which might get (or are?) ported. I seem to recall reading that Da New Guys won't get ported, and Emerald City Confidential definitely won't.
With Technobabylon, Shardlight and Automaticity, that's anywhere between 3 and 8 WEG games that might release on Linux this year, which is pretty great no matter what.

Great games by Amanita Design, indeed.
BUT:
I'd be very, very, VERY sad if it still uses Adobe AIR!

Surprised no one mentioned Hearts of Iron IV from Paradox. I believe it is supposed to come out in late summer.

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.
Edit: OH...MY....GOD.... Mighty No. 9 for Linux? Please tell me I'm not dreaming. Mega Man spiritual successor, I can't wait!
