The atmosphere of excitement over Crazy Justice [Official Site] at GOL HQ is so thick you could cut it with a knife and it appears this third-person shooter shall arrive in Early Access quite soon.
The developer replied to a user on Twitter, to say a release is happening in June. I decided to get a little out of that and spoke to them myself, where they said the Early Access release should actually be sooner than that:
Steam Early access will be sooner and it’ll include the Linux build as well :D

They don't have an exact date, but it seems by the end of June we should have it in our hands, so to speak.
It's exciting, because with Battle Royale games being all the rage (and they really are fun) we currently have a big lack of them on Linux. Crazy Justice is coming with a fully supported and official Battle Royale mode for up to 100 players. On top of that, it will have cross-platform multiplayer between PC (Linux/Mac/Windows) and certain consoles too.
They showed it off a little more recently too:
Direct Link
Will you be picking up a copy when it enters Early Access?
Going by the backer numbers, this game must have been intended for Nintendo Switch originally. Also, the video demonstrating PC/Switch cross play is with both players on controller and it looks pretty clunky. I'd like to see some more frantic mouse/keyboard gameplay.
I like the Comic-Book style and like on-line mp shooter :)
