I have no idea how long it's been a thing that Kingdom Rush Origins would be making its way to PC, but it seems it will release soon.
After chatting with our wonderful contributor Scaine today, he pointed out that Kingdom Rush Origins has a Steam page. The page already has a SteamOS + Linux system requirements tab and considering the two previous titles support Linux, it seems it will too!
Here's a little more about it:
The most addicting tower defense game returns in an all-new prequel adventure - welcome to Kingdom Rush Origins!
Kingdom Rush Origins is the third installment of the award-winning Kingdom Rush saga, loved by millions and earning accolades from gamers and critics around the globe. Take a trip back to the beginning, before Vez’nan ever thought to threaten the kingdom with the gem of power, and experience even more of the lightning-fast, exceptionally captivating gameplay that made the franchise a cornerstone of essential tower defense games. In this exciting prequel, command your elven army and defend mystical lands from sea serpents, evil sorcerers, and wave after wave of gnoll tribesmen, all with the help of brand-spankin’ new towers, heroes, and spells to fend off every last baddie.

The PC version of the previous games seemed to be pretty popular, with them both having rather good reviews overall, so I've no doubt this will also be pretty popular.
I'm sure plenty of you will think I'm crazy, but until today I had never really played any of them. After finally doing so, I was also left with a pretty great impression and so I look forward to the latest and greatest Ironhide Game Studio has to offer. According to the Steam page, it should release in either September or October.

I guess I might be better informed if I actually read some of the comments below youtube vids. (like the summary text) :P
Well, to quote a famous US icon of mine... D'oh !!!
The first one was beatable , second one kicked me in the teeth around the half way point.
Wondering if I'll manage to beat this one.

Same for me. Loved the first one but had to give up on the second as it became too difficult and frustrating. Some games obviously need a mega-noob-baby difficulty setting for me to enjoy them!
It seemed with the second that they'd tried to shoehorn in too many boss type characters and it just overwhelmed me in the end.
EDIT: Note that Kingdom Rush is currently on sale in Fanatical's bundle.

On Linux, they are perfectly balanced and much, much more fairly scaled in difficulty. Note though that the second game, Frontiers, does require a little bit of grind to maximise your hero level. Some maps are just too difficult without a high level hero.
