I wrote about Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles [Steam, GOG] coming to Linux in September last year, but with no release yet I poked the developer for more info and the reply was better than I expected.
See their reply below:
@gamingonlinux Yes, we were playing it yesterday on the Steam box in fact ;)

Awesome stuff! Considering the positive ratings and feedback the game has been getting, it certainly looks like something I want to play.
Check out their recent update trailer:

About the game
Man O' War: Corsair.
Engage in epic naval combat and explore the oceans of the Warhammer world.
Man O' War: Corsair is a video game of high adventure, naval combat and exploration based on the Games Workshop classic Man O’ War table top game.
Man O' War: Corsair - Your Quest
Sail the seas plundering enemy ships, visiting ports, and trading. Dominate everything in your path with a fleet of ships at your back and watch people flee at the mere sight of you, leaving legends of your deeds in the history books and steel through the hearts of your enemies.
Quoting: lucifertdarkDon't want to put a downer on this but what OS does the Steam box they were using have installed? I seem to remember most are Windows based & not acutally SteamOS.My question was specifically about Linux/SteamOS, I highly doubt they glossed over that fact, considering it's already available for Windows.
Pity that Vermintide or Eternal Crusade are not available on Linux/SteamOS. Hoping to see Dawn of War 3 ported.
(yes, I love both Warhammer Fantasy and WH40k)
Quoting: liamdaweMy question was specifically about Linux/SteamOS, I highly doubt they glossed over that fact, considering it's already available for Windows.True, but they could have been playing it on a Windows based Steam box, which all they said was playing it on a Steam Box, hopefully I'm wrong & they confirm you're right.
