See the official announcement on Steam here.

CPU: 2.4GHz Dual core processor or higher.
GPU: OpenGL 3.2+ supported cards at a minimum, with 512mb of dedicated memory

About the game (From Steam)
Shadow Warrior is a bold reimagining of the classic 3D Realms’ shooter from independent developer Flying Wild Hog (Hard Reset) starring the legendary and quick-witted warrior Lo Wang. Combine the brute force of overwhelming firepower with the elegant precision of a katana to annihilate the merciless armies of the shadow realm in an exhilarating and visually stunning transformation of the classic first-person shooter.

Check out Shadow Warrior on Steam. Remember, don’t buy it until the release! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I have posted on the GOG.com forums to ask about if/when this will also appear there:
Shadow Warrior (2013) Linux and Mac - Coming to GOG.com?

It would be nice if the new Rise of the Triad could also makes its way to Linux at some point, not that I am complaining mind. :)

Considering the recent eON wrapper for BioShock Infinite, I'm hoping this will be a real native port and if so I may even pay full price for it.
Liam Dawe Mar 27, 2015
It will be native guys, it's an in-house port.

Really glad to see this one coming.

Wish Wolfenstein: The New Order would see the same fate. :/

Doubt it will since id software passed to DirectX since Rage. A shame as they were big players in the OpenGL gaming field.

Sweeet!

Now it would be even sweeter if they'd port "Hard Reset: Extended Edition" as well. Sure, Shadow Warrior is better but HR:EE is a great little fps in its own right. I wouldn't mind replaying that, when I felt for just a bit of frantic, mindless shooting. (as a change of pace)

Hm, yeah "W:TNO" was a very nice game and I'd really like the upcoming "Old Blood" expansion package... :-(

their engine is still based on openGL, id tech does NOT use directX, though they don't release their games for linux anymore since they were bought by bethesda
