Dying Light 2, the massive new open-world game from Techland is looking awesome and going by SteamDB, it may actually come to Linux.
Get your heavy dose of salt ready, treat this as completely speculative until we get something harder. On SteamDB, earlier today Techland began adding more details. The interesting update is this, which specifically mentions "Added oslist – windows,linux" which seems to indicate it will support Linux. That is, unless it was done by accident…although you would think these things would be checked more than once before submitting, but you never can be too sure on such things.
You can see their fresh trailer below:

If this really does turn out to be true, 2020 is going to be fun. Dying Light is one of my favourite games, so to have the second supported on Linux would be pretty incredible.
I've emailed Techland to see if they are able to tell us what's happening. I will update you if/when I get anything or if the SteamDB page gets updated again to remove any mention of Linux.

If it has Linux support and works as expected with Mesa drivers, I'll definitely pay the release price.
Quoting: mylkamaybe they bring it for stadia too and if they already have a linux version.... put it on steamYeah, that's entirely possible.
It'll be interesting to see what new mechanics playing as some kind of demi-infected brings.
Drugs are bad, m'kay?
Are you talking about the same Techland that STILL releases content and patches for Dying Light, almost 4,5 years after release? Still going with the weekly bonus dockets, still having events like the current Double Exp during E3, still active in the Steam forums, the Discord, the subReddit. No?
Every game can have problems, sorry if your experience was bad. I have played with lots of people over the years, both when using the Linux version and later with Proton. It has been nearly flawless. AMD GPU users have had a rough time with DL native and that's due to a bad port. Before I repeat myself too much, I'll link my own comment here.
And yes, I'm hella stoked for Dying Light 2! <3
(Bloody teaser trailer got my blood pumping)
