I need to state again for the record that this is not confirmation, as SteamDB is not an official website and sometimes Linux information popping up hasn't turned to a port, but that is rare.
About the game (From Steam)
As Agent 47, you perform contract hits on high-profile targets in exotic locations around the world. Future locations - in April, Sapienza Italy, track down a scientist residing in the sunny coastal town. In May, the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh, Morocco. And as the story expands you will travel to Thailand and the USA before concluding in Japan later in 2016.
It seems the game comes in episodic form and it currently has three out of seven episodes available.
The game is getting a mixed reaction overall, but more recent reviews have been swaying it towards positive. Apparently you need to be always online, even though it's a single-player game. That doesn't bug me right now since I have a very stable connection, but others aren't so lucky.
I absolutely loved the earlier Hitman titles, but that was way back when I had an Xbox so I have not played any of the recent titles.
I wonder who is doing the Linux and Mac versions, it's possible it's a Feral Interactive port as they already have connections there. That's pure speculation though.
I'm hyped for this. Are you? Not just for the game, but because Square Enix seems to be getting more and more Linux friendly! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I have to ask the people complaining about the always on thing, do you switch your internet connection off when you play a game? No? So what's the real problem?

Quoting: KimyrielleI tolerate Steam's DRM, but Always On is a bit much. I don't get why companies still do this, as they now have a pretty much unbreakable DRM (Denuvo). Other than that it looks fun! Glad to see SE really getting into supporting Linux.
That's the way I feel too, however I believe it is simply a matter of ideology for many people. It is the way how someone experiences the free Linux platform and what they have come to expect it to be.

Quoting: lucifertdarkI have to ask the people complaining about the always on thing, do you switch your internet connection off when you play a game? No? So what's the real problem?Let me start, that I am not a person who won't buy a game because of the internet connection requirement.
But I can understand such a people, because last week I understood how such a thing may really make person angry. I had an internet connection outage for the whole weekend (Internet provider informed me that on their site everything is fine, have you tried to turn it off and on again didn't work, I have no access to software except admin panel which is piece of (insert 4 characters here, first one is 'S', last one is 't'). Long story short - I didn't have an internet connection).
And at this point I have decided to play Don't Starve Together with my girlfriend on LAN. And what was my surprise when it turned out that first Don't Starve Together had to login to the game, what was requiring internet connection. Honestly, I don't know if it was possible to play the game with some hack, but being unable to play it at first try this day made me resign from playing it for the whole weekend.
To sum up, I will buy the game with such a DRM, but I really can understand that some people won't.

Quoting: GuestI'm not at all surprised that game developers don't want to publish on Linux when the very small amount of gamers on it refuse to buy games because of DRM
I think almost no one on the site says they won't buy a game if it contains DRM. (The people that vehemently opposed to DRM wouldn't even have a steam account) The specific method mentioned though is quite pathetic imo, as there are a multitude of circumstances that can leave you without an internet connection, and thus unable to play your game.

First there is two kind of DRM system I won't support and that is always on and "you can install your game just 3 times".
Also you can never know when your provider fucks up and some regions just have mobile Edge connections #Germany Internet Neuland.
Just yesterday it happend that the internet was unstable for some reason, pc and router was ok so it was not my fault. With always on DRM I would have probably rage because usually the game is paused or you can restart from checkpoint. Sorry but I'll pass on that kind of fun.

That means i might not need a new computer to play it if and when the port is finished. :)

Hell yeah, I hope this comes to GNU/Linux as well! I remember playing this on PlayStation ages ago and loved how it was a smart shooter game that required strategy to come out alive. Though, I agree that an always-on connection to the Internet for single-player games is a stupid idea. Nonetheless, I could see myself buying this game.
