Sad news, as Deep Silver originally confirmed to me Homefront: The Revolution was going to be a day-1 release, now they are not saying when.
They did confirm it's still in development:
@BabaOreum @gamingonlinux Hey, Mac and Linux versions are in development - https://t.co/YkrgNjb7n4
— Deep Silver UK (@DeepSilverUK) March 3, 2016
We'll keep you posted with the latest.
Sadly they didn't answer the question directly:
@gamingonlinux @BabaOreum We'll keep the channel updated with release dates for Mac & Linux

It might still come out at release, but their language "in development" and Steam only having a Windows icon to me says it will be a delayed release. A real shame, as it was one of the titles I have been looking forward to the most.
Same day releases are really important to Linux & SteamOS. It's still great it's coming. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Surely a delay alone is no reason to sound so despondent. If it were cancelled, or the delay turned out to be huge... then, sure. Cheer up, you probably have butt-tonnes of other things to play while you wait.

I look forward to its Linux release.
Any news on Rocket League, was it not meant to be released before the Xbox One version?

@kit89 I have some news - once again Linux users were treated in a very unfair way (In comparison to [console gamers](https://store.xbox.com/pl-PL/Xbox-One/Games/Rocket-League/233becfb-c914-4ef4-9a73-398e8195f00a)), but according to Rocket League developers - [because of Valve](https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/rocket-league-not-due-on-steamos-linux-for-another-6-to-8-weeks.6560)).

Hopefully it's still day 1, if not then not too long after that. On the bright side, there's a pretty good chance that it will use Vulkan.

Haven't been around long have we? Delays often see more delays, and then more delays.

I think they are trying to avoid all the fuss around the Metro Redux pre-orders, as the Steam pre-order displayed a Tux icon despite developers clearly stating the Linux version would arrive later on.
Many users complained that the game was not released day one because of this, and perhaps they want to avoid this kind of reactions in case the port isn't ready.
Yet if it is in development, there are some chances that it will be ready around May 20th. But the "release dates for Linux" does really sound wrong to me.

Still getting yourself down over a thing that has not happened yet.

I'd rather have a better port than a rushed day one port.
But I'd also rather have a day one port.
Until we start getting simultaneous releases on a regular basis, the Linux numbers will always be lower than they could be, as people buy to play in Wine or dual boot, or just give up on the game entirely.

If they don't get it out day one, I'll forgive 'em. Deep Silver has more than enough Linux Good Karma points to balance it out.

A game this big not releasing on Linux will reinforce the second class citizen stereotype. So, I'm with the Boss - it's a real shame to see hype generated by news of support, only to see it pulled a couple of weeks later.
At least it's not due until May, so this isn't exactly springing a surprise out of the blue. Still, hugely disappointing, especially for a game which is meant to be "online". If the Linux delay is long enough, we'll have missed the initial buzz and face lots of jaded & high-level types on entry.

Sounds like an RPG stat and the moment it's maxed out you get a free pet penguin.

Deep Silver...enough said. Their support of Dead Island was pretty poor, but still mostly playable for me.
Any games coming from them or Techland I am extremely cautious of. The possible always online DRM rumors around Homefront make me even more cautious.
We'll just have to wait and see.
Still the METRO ports are very good! :) I'd love to see a day 1 port - still I do prefer a better port then a rushed one as well! +1 for that!

ok guys back to reality plz. We didnt lose anything. And we have couple of peoples who uses Linux. We are not even 2nd target customers. And if you really do something then stop blaming companies and start coding somethings for common good. Ofc we want games under our Fav OS without restrictions and so on. But come back to reality.
if there is no linux ports we dont have to pay it. thats the deal for them.
now relax let them do their job. Also think "what i can do for progression gaming on linux"
have fun.

Can't say much, not too much information so far, it still coming on Linux that's the good news, but if it not a day one release this is still a disappointment, but it depends on how long ? Keep in mind it's just single player, so I can wait.

Actually the game is single player with co-op online possible. It's mainly a singleplayer game.
