They went into Epic Shitstore. So no Linux. And i don't think they ever planned linux build before the store switch either

As you have probably heard, the last decision with Epic was made above the head of the developers themselves. So I fear even if they have a polished Linux version in the drawer (which is obviously not true), you would need to wait until the end of the Epic exclusive time (they don't support Linux and is not planned).
Right now I wouldn't have hopes for it. Even if the devs might be willing to port it, they are not the ones in control of decisions.

doesnt surprise me, because it is an updated version of the metro 1+2 engine

maybe there are some pre order keys to buy?

i can wait and i am sure we have VKD3D in 2020, so we can use dx12 by then... win7+8 cant btw

Metro:Exodus still not exist yet. It will be launched on 15th February 2020 on Steam and hopefully other store too without any exclusive deal. So, be patience...

I guess the people who were able to test this in Steamplay were those who had pre-ordered the game before the publisher decided that they didn't want to sell it anymore?

Either that, or the epic launcher works on proton or wine.

It's frustrating ... Impossible it seems to buy a steam key ...:(

Epic launcher does work with wine (check winehq or lutris)
But it does have some nasty visibility issues where the launcher does only display a Grey solid body and window buttons unless you resize it or hover over objects which will flash the interface. It does work to login, install and launch a game but makes it a bit harder.
About metro, it's working fine without any major issues

Can confirm M:E works fine on Wine with dxvk.
