More information is coming out of Aspyr thanks to a reddit, and the news is all pretty good. Not only are they looking at releasing a new port soon, but they are looking to GOG too.
On talking about their new port on reddit they said this:
Aspyr_BlairI never gave a date, but only said in the new year.
We are close to the reveal, super close actually and our team is getting super jittery and excited. As promised, it will be a game that NOBODY saw coming. Over 1000 guesses across the net, and nobody has come close.
Darth is right, we did this one for love. We hope you like it, but we are cool if you dont ;)
I don't know what it is, as Aspyr have kept extremely tight lipped about this. It's quite surprising that not a single person has guessed what it is yet.
Among the many questions and comments on another reddit post, one user asked if they considered bringing their games to GOG. Aspyr replied that it's in currently in the talks with GOG:
Aspyr_BlairTo your points on GOG, I am actually in talks with them now and (if successful) it wont be long before you see Aspyr titles up there.
I know a fair few people steer clear of Steam, so if they do manage to get their games on GOG then it's win-win for all Linux gamers.

Hmm...difficult to guess and: "we did this one for love"....
...
Valkyrie Chronicles ?
...
Now, that would be unexpected treat. I HATE strategy games, but this one was just awesome. One of best games I played on ps3. Awesome visuals, nice story and really original implementation

The game must be Space Cadet 3D Pinball.
Fingers crossed for GOG.

I did guess Might & Magic: Heroes VI back in the day but that was long before I even knew that Heroes of Might and Magic III is being released once more. Well, Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia anyway. Did not even get a "Close!" or anything from Aspyr, so I doubt it.Over 1000 guesses across the net, and nobody has come close.
Darth is right, we did this one for love. We hope you like it, but we are cool if you dont
Just a theory, but could it be Heroes of Might and Magic III? Seems like the kind of thing that would be done "for love" and there's a re-master out soon, but Windows-only despite having had Linux and Mac ports in the past.
Wild stab in the dark, but if not one guess in 1000 has been right, it will probably be something a bit obscure like this.

I did mean the Microsoft one, I missed the 1996 game, I was busy playing Doom & Transport Tycoon at every opportunity at that time.I might be alone in this but I really enjoyed the original Fable.
If you mean the original 1996 adventure game, no you're not alone. It wasn't the best adventure game around, but had some fresh ideas, iirc.
(Yeah, I know you mean the other one.)

Aspyr + GoG = The Witcher 3

would love it to be GTA 5, KOTOR or FIFA. Problem with FIFA is, EA and their love of Steam :-/.
All in all, can't wait to find out what it is! My wallet is ready.

Just a theory, but could it be Heroes of Might and Magic III?
Oh I hope so - I all of the "Heroes of Might and Magic" games to date in my GOG.com library (though the first three games are the best), and I'd love to play them natively in Ubuntu... Heck, I'd even pay for them again, if I had to!

Hummm,
Games people would not expect but are universally loved:
Ages of Empire 2
Any Elder Scrolls
Fallout
Starcraft? Now that's a throwback into the past
Personally, I am confident that Aspyr will put out a great game.

As in the Microsoft game?
Yeah right - we've got about as much chance of Bill Gates announcing that he'll be using Ubuntu going forwards as we do of that happening!
Of course, I'd love to be proven wrong (I love the franchise, but am sick of playing it via PlayOnLinux), but it's never going to happen...

Yes it can happen.
On this list are 3 MS Games, ok the Devs are not MS but the Publisher:
http://store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=Microsoft%20Studios
And now MS open his dot NET framework and made it opensource. So MS open his doors to Linux and other platforms.
Why not with Games, too?
I hope MS will do it.

Throwing in one guess, as random as it gets:
The original Metal Gear Solid :)

Did anyone guess Diablo? It will never be Age of Empires because it is using Directplay. Therefore the whole network protocol has to be rewritten.

Star wars ? (I'd take galactic battlegrounds, but it's not on their list). Battlefront ?
Maybe... COD ? I would pass my turn, then :/
C&C ? SupCom ? Again, I'm only quoting games I like...
