I got emailed a press release for the GTA-inspired open-world game 'Riskers', turns out the developer is open to a Linux version.
Not just GTA-inspired, but it also looks a little Hotline Miami too. If it can combine the best of both, we're onto a winner. Check out the trailer:

As for Linux support, the developer said:
Riskers will launch for Windows on September 5th*. There is a possibility that it will later be released for Mac and Linux.
*The release was delayed until this month.
Since I think it looks fantastic, I've opened up a Linux support thread on Steam. If you would like to see it on Linux, post in this linked topic and let's see if we show enough requests for the developer.
Update - See what the developer has now said:
Thank you all for your interest, I will make sure to speed things up and prepare porting for the Linux version. I will post an update as soon as any new information is available.Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

The dev [claims](http://steamcommunity.com/app/581310/discussions/0/1520386297691730912/) a launch price of $7.50 usd. Might be worth picking up at that price even on the hope of a Linux version.

GTA1/2-like game with a good interactive city, enterable buildings and active police with MP (GTA1/2 from what I remember removed police from MP) could be quite fun.
