Developer Unfrozen who previously made Iratus: Lord of the Dead have teamed up with Ubisoft, and they recently announced the new Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era. One for fans of the classics!
Unfrozen's previous game did have Native Linux support, but since they're now working with Ubisoft I fully expect it to need to run through Proton on Linux desktop and Steam Deck.
What's interesting here is that this is actually a prequel, and very much looks like a return to the roots of the gameplay.
More about it: "Heroes of Might & Magic Olden Era is a new installment of the renowed series of turn-based strategy games, where action takes place in Enroth, on the continent of Jadame, mentioned but never explored in a Heroes of Might & Magic game before. Traverse a vibrant and living fantasy world full of wonders and dangers, build magnificent capital cities, raise massive armies and clash in epic, highly tactical battles of heroes and mythical creatures.
Play solo with a new campaign, multiple single maps and limitless randomly generated scenarios, or engage in battle of wits and magic with other players — rivals or allies — in multiplayer mode. There is also an option to build your own story with the map editor tool, which you may make available to all the players around the world or keep to yourself."
