As one Linux gamer pointed out on #Reddit, it appears that Hitman 2016 is indeed looking to make a Linux #debut, as pointed out on SteamDB. Most SteamDB references to Linux have usually come to reality, more often than not, but this is no ‘official #announcement’ for Hitman 2016.
As Agent 47, you perform contract hits on high-profile targets in exotic locations around the world. Future locations – in April, Sapienza Italy, track down a scientist residing in the sunny coastal town. In May, the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh, Morocco. And as the story expands you will travel to Thailand and the USA before concluding in Japan later in 2016.
As you can see, there is a lot of Linux showing up for Hitman 2016:
