The upcoming RPG and spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment should be seeing a simultaneous release across all platforms.
Torment: Tides of Numenera [Official Site] is a storytelling-rich isometric RPG that has been in development for quite a few years now, following a highly-successful kickstarter campaign. After launching a limited version of the game on Steam’s Early Access last year exclusive to Windows users, quite a few of us were wondering if last month’s release date announcement included Linux. I reached out, at the time, to developer inXile to ask just that. It took a while due to the end-of-year rush but I recently got the following reply:
So there you have it. Fingers crossed but it seems that we’ll be getting the game on Linux on February 28th along with everyone else. I’m personally looking forward to seeing how things turned out after 4 years of following the game's development. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

QuoteSorry for the very tardy response, we got backed up over the break.
We are currently working on the Linux version of Torment, and plan to release to our announced platforms at the same time.
Thanks,

Quoting: buenaventuraQuoting: badberVery good news, I just hope the early access version I tried isn't indicative of the system requirements for the final version because that one probably wouldn't run on an Intel integrated GPU which I may be interested in playing this with.
In any case, I anticipate playing this right away. I was very convinced by the writing in the EA version.
Yeah I hope that they dont do a pillars of eternity and put in useless 3D models staggering my computer + endless loading screens between every transition, because that just ruins the game. I LOVE Planescape: Torment and I want this very much, IF it is playable.
Well, I believe it does have 3D models for characters and it does also include loading screens between areas. That said, I read a comment from someone who did say there have been performance improvements in the latest beta build so possibly it'll run better.

Perhaps they will have a demo available so that I could try it out before buying, we'll see!

I realize now, that Wasteland 2 was also developed by inXile, and that game DID work pretty fine on my computer! So perhaps they can do this! YAY!

It's been known for a long time that EA would not be on Linux. GOL asked them and they said they're planning to release it simultaneously when it's actually released though. As always if you're thinking of playing it on Linux right away I'd still hold off until it's actually released but there's no real reason to see what you said as a warning sign at this point.

Oh and the name doesn't mean anything but coincidentally could be pronounced as "Buttery" which suits me just fine.
