I had a chance to speak to the developers of Divinity: Original Sin who confirmed the Linux version is being worked on right now.
When asking for an update the developers kindly replied with this:
QuoteHi Liam,
We have guys working on Linux port full-time, but there’s no release date just yet.
Thanks,

There you have it folks! It shouldn't be too long if they have a team working on it full-time, but who knows what could happen.
It's a real shame it's taken this long to come to Linux, but one day we will be able to play it.
About the game (From Steam)
In Divinity: Original Sin you take on the role of a young Source Hunter: your job is to rid the world of those who use the foulest of magics. When you embark on what should have been a routine murder investigation, you suddenly find yourself in the middle of a plot that will rattle the very fabric of time.
Divinity: Original Sin is a game that gives you a lot of freedom and plenty of gameplay mechanics to use or abuse. The game's epic story may drive you toward your ultimate end-goal, but how you get there is entirely up to you.
Or up to you and a friend, because Divinity: Original Sin can be played completely cooperatively, and features both online and local drop-in/drop-out multiplayer. Great adventures become even greater when shared with a trusted comrade-in-arms!
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Quoting: wojtek88Honestly it's hard for me to believe that there are many people working on linux port of this game. It's been already more than half of a year since game was released. And what's important - linux port was anounced "just after Mac version". Mac version was released the same day windows version was released, linux port is not there yet.As they said before they had some big middleware issues on Linux. They are solved now and we will finally get the Linux version. This kind of stuff just happens sometimes. A software issues may slow down the progress a lot.
Linux is going to be treated as second class platform for a while anyway. Consoles are doing very well and Windows 10 + DirectX12 is going to be very strong as well, no doubts. Consoles and Windows has already very good tools and lots of game developers who knows the platforms and APIs very well.
Linux gaming will take but will get eventually get there. Before that we are going to hear lots of criticism about lack of games, performance problems and bad support for gaming peripherals. It will be interesting to see how Linux community is going to handle the criticism.

I was planning to play this game with my windows friends. Unfortunately it seems that they are already done with it ... so I will probably just skip it ...

My buddy bought the bundle the other day for me and it runs perfectly in wine for me. Can't hardly wait for Linux release though either!
