It would be a shame if this does not support Linux given it supports every other platform from Windows/Mac down to Switch.
Given family life I am selective on what I purchase, I have to find the time to play them, so I prioritize native Linux releases only really considering non-native titles if they are steeply discounted and proven to work on Proton or Wine.

Quite sad there is no announced Linux version as well, this game looks right up my alley. 
Hopefully, it's just a "not at launch" thing, and we'll eventually see it as well.

I wonder if this is because a lot of Linux games tend to get ported by a third-party? Perhaps that is still being arranged?
Dont know specifics, but while a lot of AAA titles seem to come from Feral, and Aspyr to a lesser extent these days, And obviously the likes of Ethan Lee do a lot of the indie titles, most of if not all of the Paradox developed and published games have had there Linux ports done in house rather than contracted out.
Or at least that is how it appears to be done.
Seems like there has been a change of policy: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/3932
This makes me quite sad. The early Linux support from PDX was a big reason both why I became a fan and made it easier for me to finally drop having a Windows partition.

I was really looking forward to this game since I love XCOM and Shadowrun games, and also the hardcore touch Romero puts in every game (Sigil was dope).
But no Linux no buy here.

a bit late to the party, but given the advances proton has been making, the games might not *need* to 'run on linux' to run on linux.
Seeing as it's supported on so many platforms there's a big chance Proton supports it
