Aspyr Media have been extremely busy it seems, as they have just sent off code to bring Civilization Beyond Earth up to the same patch level as Windows. The bigger news is they have been teasing a new port.
I know what it is (I’m allowed to say that, trust me I checked first!), and no amount of drowning me in rum or fattening me up with cake is going to make me break. You will love it though, and Aspyr’s commitment to our platform is something truly awesome.
There’s this particular post on reddit that will get a lot of Linux gamers wondering, and it’s where this teaser comes from:
Aspyr_BlairAgreed...been a little quiet lately. Mostly because its all hands on deck for one game...and I mean ALL HANDS.
Of course I will not be giving it away (wild speculation is too much fun), but lets just say its a game that has been asked for literally thousands of times. It's also personally one of my favorite games of all time.
I can promise there will be many penguin smiles out there.
I’ve requested Samsai to do a special live stream when it is released, so we can bask in his glory. Or watch his failure, either’s good.
Begin the guessing game, and join me in riding the hype train. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I'd like to see it is Skyrim, but I don't think so unfortunately... :-(

A native version of Skyrim would indeed be lovely, although it runs very well indeed using the PlayOnLinux 
script for the Steam version. In fact, I installed Oblivion 
in the same Steam bottle and it runs like a champ as well.
If Skyrim could be ported, so might Fallout 3?
Yeah, I know F3 is old...so was CIV V. :P

Quoting: ricki42Deus Ex: HR, since people 'asked for it'.Feral ported Deus Ex: Human Revolution to Mac OS, so Aspyr porting it to Linux seems odd. Not impossible, but certainly not the norm.
Maybe I should stop watching that Mankind Divided trailer, I'm seeing DX everywhere...

Quoting: WorMzyA game that involves sailing? Sid Meier's Pirates, or Colonization? I'd be happy with those, although I don't think too many others would be as overly pleased.
Both are already on Linux on gog.com.

I bet this secret project is Dying Light because Techland just does not give a damn and Aspyr graciously offered to finish the job.
