I spoke to the developer of We Happy Few on twitter to get an update on the Linux version, it seems it has been pushed back.
Originally they said that the Linux version would be available during Early Access, but now it will be later:
@gamingonlinux Shortly acter the final release of the game :)

A real shame that it's coming out later than previously stated, but still great that it's coming. Looking forward to it, as it looks bonkers.
About the game
Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of moderately terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial in the city of Wellington Wells. Set in a drug-fuelled, retrofuturistic city in an alternative 1960s England, you’ll have to blend in with its other inhabitants, who don’t take kindly to people who don’t abide by their not-so-normal rules.

Well, that's late. (I always fear such late ports will result in bad sale numbers and thus in a lower probability of later ports.) Thanks for sharing!
I believe the whole project is late, not really specific to Linux support. Might be wrong, but they're not even at full release yet and I think they always planned Linux for after that.
I'm just delighted they're still talking about it and have it on their plans. Hopefully it pans out.
I'm not completely convinced by the price though. The graphics do look beautiful, but it's nearly £25 and that's competing with some pretty stunning titles. That said, it's my kind of game, so I'll likely pick it up, even with the premium tag attached!

Ah, I thought they would have released long time ago. Well, that's at least good news from Linux port point of view, I guess. :o)
