Cities in Motion 2, a mass transit simulation developed by Colossal Order Ltd. and published by Paradox Interactive, has been confirmed for Linux, along with all the games in the series.

Rumors about a Linux version for Cities in Motion 2 have been floating around for some time, but the publishers have only now confirmed that the Linux port is incoming.

“The entire Cities in Motion franchise will be released for Linux computers, allowing strategy and simulation fans to experience the game on an entirely new platform. Linux support will be added the same day the new expansion is released,” reads the official announcement from Paradox Interactive.

According to the developers, in Cities in Motion 2 players must design, construct, maintain, and expand a multifaceted transit network that serves the needs of a growing city.

This is actually better news than we were expecting. Users have been waiting for a Linux version of their latest game, but instead the developers will bring the entire franchise to their platform.
