Looks like the 2013 game Tomb Raider is heading to SteamOS & Linux according to new information popping up on SteamDB.
I'm actually a big fan of the game, as I played it when it came out on PS3, but sadly I never got to finish it for various reasons. Being able to do so on my favourite system, that's bloody brilliant.
I wonder who's doing the port? Any guesses folks?
About this game (Official)
Tomb Raider explores the intense and gritty origin story of Lara Croft and her ascent from a young woman to a hardened survivor. Armed only with raw instincts and the ability to push beyond the limits of human endurance, Lara must fight to unravel the dark history of a forgotten island to escape its relentless hold. Download the Turning Point trailer to see the beginning of Lara’s epic adventure. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Haven't played a Tomb Raider game in ages. Perfect timing to start with one again :)

I've always loved Tomb Raider. Remember seeing it for the first time in a friend's playstation, it was TR3, and it was like WOW for me! After a while I got my first PC and bought TR2 with a magazine. Then I played TR3 and 4.
TR is one of the games I most miss.
That's a great news. Actually, it's my birthday today, so this is an awesome gift :)

I played TR1 in my old Sega Saturn 20 years ago, and TR2 in a Pentium I 125mhz with 24MB

Then I played TR3 and 4.Don't go into it expecting a Tomb Raider game (despite the game being called Tomb Raider) or you may wind up bitterly disappointed and hating the game like I did. This game has very little in common with the original Tomb Raider games outside of sharing the name and protagonist. If you're looking for proper puzzle platforming and actual tombs to raid, you won't find it here. What you will find is a pretty good cover shooter with spectacular setpieces, a bunch of QTEs (thankfully they're concentrated at the beginning, after that you don't get them as much), and some hold you by the hand exploration.

Despite the fact that I hate this game with a passion, I'll be happy if it comes to Linux since it would be a good step forward for Linux gaming.

How certain is this forecasted release? Not for nothin', but I'm still looking achingly at Darksiders 1 & 2 on my wishlist, thinking of what almost was --- what yet might be. Le sigh.

Are the original Tomb Raider games DOS? If so I'm surprised GOG doesn't officially support DOSbox Tomb Raider games for Linux.

I played it with Windows 95, but in wikipedia you can see that the game was released in MSDOS.
