Developer Shiro Games have previously announced that Evoland 2 is coming to Linux, and have now released the official trailer for the upcoming game.
The first game was made available for Linux a couple of months ago. In the official Linux announcement on Steam, the developer noted that they're aiming for a simultaneous release on all PC platforms for the sequel:
Like the predecessor, Evoland 2 will incorporate a large mix of art styles and gameplay mechanics that pay homage to classic games. The game's official website site has a small bundle of pictures displaying some of these styles that are worth a look if the trailer wasn't enough.
About the game (Official)
Evoland 2 is the spiritual successor to the original Evoland with its graphics style changing as you travel through time and it’s gameplay evolving as you move along the storyline. It is also a much bigger game and a classic RPG at heart, with a complex scenario based on time travel, dozens of characters with their own backgrounds and ambitions and vastly different gameplay styles that are linked to the story and the player’s actions.
Full of humor and references to classic games, the aptly named Evoland 2, A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum Disorder will bring a truly epic and extraordinary adventure, unlike anything you’ve ever played before!
I played through the first game on Windows a couple of years ago, and though I really liked it, I thought it was a bit on the short side. Even though I spent a fair amount of time searching for hidden collectibles, I only have a little over six hours logged in the game according to Steam. So I'm happy to hear that they're aiming for a larger game with the sequel.
The game is slated for release this summer, and the developer has opened up for pre-orders. But until we know for sure that the game will be available for Linux on release, it might be best to hold off buying. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I absolutely loved the first game and this second one looks to have even more polish and content. Might be a day 1 purchase for me :)

Evoland 1 is looking pretty average compared to this one. Good god, how many artists are working for this game? The art styles are all over the place, in the best possible ways!
Seriously, how do you incorporate EVERYTHING into a game like this? Assets, programming... this is like a nostalgia dream project on crack.
...I wonder if the developer could release an engine out of this, with Evoland 2 as the flagship. Call it NostalgiaMaker2k

I run the Hidden Linux Gems group on Steam, where we highlight good indie games for Linux that we feel deserve more attention.
