Good news, after chatting with Team17, it seems Worms W.M.D will now be a day-1 Linux release which is fantastic.
@gamingonlinux @WormsTeam17 Good news on the Linux front! We're now aiming to release the Linux version on August 23rd too :D

The Steam store page has also been updated with a SteamOS icon and a section ready to put the Linux system requirements in.
Looks like it's now safe to pre-order for the extras highlighted in this video:

About the game
The worms are back in their most destructive game yet. With a gorgeous, hand-drawn 2D look, brand new weapons, the introduction of crafting, vehicles and buildings plus the return of some much-loved classic weapons and gameplay, Worms W.M.D is the best worms experience ever.
Work your way through 30 campaign levels of increasing difficulty using the huge arsenal of new and classic weapons at your disposal. Use new vehicles to cause chaos amongst the enemy ranks and use buildings to gain the tactical advantage as you try to dominate the battlefield!
Take on up to five opponents in hilarious all-out tactical worm warfare with up to eight worms each, either in local or online multiplayer, including ranked play. Flatten your opponents with the Concrete Donkey. Turn them into chunks of worm meat with the Holy Hand Grenade. Rain down hell from above in helicopters or pound them into oblivion with the tank. With 80 weapons and utilities at your fingertips, this is Worms at its chaotic best!

The only 'extra' launch content is the All-Stars pack which is the preorder bonus. This will not be sold post launch as it containts many IPs from different parties.
There is no 'Day 1 DLC' that you'll be required to buy for extra content. Nor are there any microtransactions.
Of course in the future we are looking at ways we can expand Worms W.M.D with DLC, but that's a bit of a way off.
Fun Fact about the preorder bonus: If you don't have it and face someone online who does, you'll get access to the content for that match.
Quoting: dmantioneThat's the spirit I like. Developers doing good Linux support should be rewarded. Day one release = day one purchase.
Totally agree. Day one release = day one purchase. Always fun with this game, so I am even looking forward to play :D
Quoting: EhvisSo why is there a Saints Row IV logo in the overview picture?Because the "All-Stars" pre-order content includes stuff (weapons, characters) from SR IV and other well-known games.

With the countless hours my friends and I spent on this game (well, Armageddon) back in secondary school, it wouldn't be right not to support this!
