Update: Linux version is still happening, they replied to our Twitter post with "Oops! That’s our mistake! We’ll get OSX and Linux up there.".

Descendant Studios have teamed up with Little Orbit to bring the new Descent out in full next year, along with a new trailer.

In a Kickstarter post back in August, Descendent Studios noted how they've been able to make the game "bigger and better than we'd ever hoped". In that same post, they also mentioned this:

Soon you will be able to play Descent on XBox1, Playstation 4, PC, Mac, and Linux, look for an announcement on that date from our partners at Little Orbit in the near future.

So as far as we knew, the Linux version was still on. A few days ago, however, they put another update up titled "Honoring our promises" which only mentioned "PC" when talking about an upcoming Beta. They did say that anyone who backed Descent: Underground during their Kickstarter or Early Access will get access to the Beta too.

Also, in their two new trailers like the teaser below (and this longer trailer) only a Windows logo can be seen and the publishers official page only mentions "PC". So I've reached out for some clarification on that today, hopefully it's just an oversight.
