I have it confirmed that the planned Linux version of Cossacks 3 [Official Site] has been once again delayed and it's now not due until April, if they even make that.
@gamingonlinux To make the game comletely done, we delay the release for Mac and Linux to April 2017. Sorry for this and hope you'll stay.

Cossacks 3 for Linux was originally due to be released alongside the Windows version, then it was delayed for the second half of October last year. We were then told in November last year the finishing touches were being done, but this was delayed due to issues with a new DLC release at the time. It was then confirmed for the 15th of March this year, then delayed again until the 29th of March and now today it has been delayed yet again until April.
This doesn't surprise me, since GSC Game World have announced another expansion for the game, so it doesn't take a super smart person to figure out their priorities here. This is a damn shame, since I've been really hyped to play it as a massive RTS fan, but now I really do feel my enthusiasm for it vanishing with each delay.
QuoteWe’re still waiting for NVidia/Epic to fix the major graphical glitch under Linux, but we will keep you posted on that.
It doesn't sound like this fix is forthcoming. It's been a while since they found it, and apparently nothing is fixed still.
