Many asked, now Feral Interactive have answered. Rise of the Tomb Raider [Steam] is officially on the way to Linux! What a fantastic way to start a Tuesday with news like this! It still amazes me to this day that Linux will have games like this, very happy with the news!
Feral aren't saying exactly when it will arrive, but they had a tweet out that said "This Winter" which has since been deleted (Edit: replaced with this one). You can see the official confirmation on their official site which now says "This spring", so it could be here sometime between March and late June.
The advantage of getting a game later than Windows, is we get the 20 Year Celebration edition which has all the DLC.
For those wondering, it will indeed use Vulkan on Linux! This is confirmed at the bottom of the Features page on the mini-site.
Here's the trailer Feral put up:
Direct Link
The game has been loved by reviewers and users alike, so it looks like it will be a solid hit for Linux gamers after more Lara. It takes the first game and makes nearly all aspects of it bigger and better than before, including more actual Tombs.
It seems this is the game that has replaced the previous Linux port teaser of "O VAIN ILLUSION OF GLORY AND GRANDEUR" that was put up back in October of last year. We still have to discover the game behind the "It's just a shot away" teaser that was put up in January, so there's more on the way remember!
Are you hyped? Let us know in the comments.

Unless of course we can play it without Steam. But I don't see this happening on Feral's side.
After the usual update of gcc/glibc and Steam stopping running (no 32bit support), I can say that I'm off with this.
This has two pluses:
1. I will not have to put up with 32bit anymore. Yay!
2. This has to be separated really:
a) Will stop feeding money to Steam/Valve.
b) Since I have a no GOG policy too, I won't spend money for games at all! WOW
c) all this leads to this - will save some money and feed AMD for their new policy.
I've been thinking about this for some time now. … NVIDIA, as they say.
Quoting: sbolokanovShockingly (as to me, too) I can say that I will not buy this game (or any future Steam game for that matter).

AMD dont make games nor do they have a gaming store and buying amd hardware is pointless if you want to do nothing but facebook literally any processor from the last 10 plus years will do.

Right now this game is on sale; is a perfect time for to release the Linux version.

After being fed up with this on Fedora using mesa-git, Solus' Linux Steam Integration helps out a lot. Though it won't help with your other issues.

How much time We must wait for the Linux version.??

I hope it won't be too long given that this one doesn't have the Microsoft exclusivity.
