Sad news here, as it seems Killing Floor 2 is not coming to Linux any time soon, despite previous rumours about it.
Back in February I reported on Knockout Games doing the port, as it was listed on their site and they confirmed it in a Tweet that was later removed.
However, earlier this month the developer posted this on Steam:
It is not something actively in development at this time, but our engine team continues to evaluate it as a potential task weighed against the rest of their workload.
It's a shame really, since Tripwire announced Killing Floor 2 back in 2014 with SteamOS support. They also told me they would be doing the Linux/SteamOS version themselves. Priorities change of course, but it's still a shame.
I'm guessing something didn't work out with the port Knockout Games was supposedly doing, so hopefully someone else (perhaps Icculus?) can do it, or they can do it themselves in future as originally planned.
Thanks for the tip, spidernet.

If you don't buy it within the next 4 days, you're only saving $12, because it's in the current Humble Monthly Bundle ;)

And so you support Tripewire and her fib tactics.
I've got the game from Humble Monthly

Me too, but i don't activate it. If i activate i, i show my Support to Tripewire. all other Games i have from TW i got from TW in my Account directly.
Didn;t they promise it in a kickstarter or something ?
I played KF2 a bit on windows but it was not very fun.
You had less control over maps , could not do a local server , the game would match make you versus VERY powerful players who had better stats and killed all the monsters before you could.
First one is still great in my opinion.

Quoting: TheRiddickOh another Unreal engine based game gets removed from the Linux list, WHAT A AMAZING SURPRISE THAT I NEVER SAW COMING... /sarcasm...As far as I know all UE engines have linux support. The first engine even had glide support next to opengl. And the glide support (or glide itself) was superior to opengl.
