The middle of October is when Crytek should be publicly rolling out their Vulkan API support in the CryENGINE.

Crytek has put out their CryENGINE roadmap for the next few months, including specific items planned for CryENGINE 5.2 and 5.3.

CryENGINE 5.2 is imminent with DirectX 12 multi-GPU support, its complete DX12 renderer, full C++11 support for engine code, potential PhysX support, and more.

With CryENGINE 5.3 due out in mid-October is when the developers are planning the full support for the Vulkan graphics API. Also planned for 5.3 are other graphics/rendering updates along with audio improvements, sandbox enhancements, and more.

The current CryENGINE roadmap can be found at CryEngine.com. Hopefully it won't be too much longer after the release before seeing some benchmark-friendly CryENGINE games on Linux with Vulkan support.
