Feral Interactive are being sneaky, as they have given a little hint towards their next game, and it's quite obvious it's for Linux.
It's time to get excited folks. Feral Interactive ported XCOM: Enemy Unknown to Linux not too long ago, so we are all eager to see what they have up next. Luckily, we may not have to wait for long at all.
Considering the excellent job they did with XCOM they have already proven themselves to me.
The clue is this picture:
Along with "(Clue: genus and species)".
Anyone want to try figuring out what game they are talking about? Looks like a pretty big nod to us for the fact of it being a penguin.

For those that somehow missed it, we interviewed Feral Interactive back in June, so be sure to give that a read. In that interview Edwin did say this about future Linux ports:

QuoteThat's the plan! Although I can't give you any clues about what's next in line, I can say that the coming year should be a good one for Linux gamers!

Doesn't matter... I'll buy whatever it is just to thank their great efforts on supporting Linux. :)

Aptenodytes - from the Ancient Greek a/α 'without' pteno-/πτηνο- "feather" or "wing" and dytes/δυτης "diver"
Patagonicus - From Patagonia, where it lives...
So.... Feral are coming to Argentina on something without wings and which dives... They're getting a nuclear sub to Buenos Aires where they'll be worKING from now on and thus offering me a job. Thanks Feral!

Patagonia means "large foot" - so, what has a large foot that likes to stomp on small studios till they go splat? Yes, you guessed right... Electronic Arts! They're porting something from EA.

If I had to take a more serious guess, I would say the penguin's name is "diver" which may be a reference to Bioshock's big daddies...
No idea what Patagonicus could refer to though.

QuoteThe Patagones or Patagonian giants are a mythical race of people, who first began to appear in early European accounts of the then little-known region and coastline of Patagonia. They were supposed to have exceeded at least double normal human height, some accounts giving heights of 12 to 15 feet (3.7 to 4.6 m) or more
I'm putting my money on Bioshock then (big dadddy references).

There's an Emperor in the Warhammer games as well.
On a side note, according to Wiki a person called Charles Bonaparte cataloged numerous species of birds including penguins, another Bonaparte was Emperor of France.

It's definitely a king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) if this chart can be trusted: http://www.polartrec.com/files/members/alex-eilers/images/mon_penguin_photo_id.jpg
