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 don't know what game it is but to avoid unecessary guesses, there are some interesting informations in the Aspyr statement:
"... and I mean ALL HANDS..."
It suggests that they are working on Mac and Linux ports. I doubt they would do so for Tux only.
"... It's also personally one of my favorite games of all time...."
So it's a game that has been available for some time and, as of today, a Windows exclusive.
Ok that still leaves a lot of choices but we have something to work with... Mmmm... Skyrim?
They have been wise to tell you Liam, they probably want to avoid another "Total War: Rome vs Bioshock Infinite" incident. :)

Another vote for the "I hope it's Skyrim" camp. It's an older game for sure, but there are enough mods for it around to keep it interesting for a while longer. Shadows of Mordor and GTA V, if I am not totally mistaken, are both games that force you to play a male character, so my interest in either is limited.

It has to be Skyrim. People have only been clamouring for GTAV recently, whereas in every rumour thread there's ALWAYS a Skyrim request!!

For my part, Skyrim would definitely be a "Shut up and take my money" purchase (again). However, I am prepared to have my hopes dashed by the realization that he's secretly into Candy Crush or some other title I couldn't care less about.

Homeworld Remastered was recently released and is a classic.
All hands on deck can be referenced in terms of space ships and I'm guessing there are a few out there that have requested it.

Quoting: liberodarkThe Witcher 3 is coming to steamosCDPR semi officially confirmed it, but never said who is working on the port. Official confirmation however still never surfaced. So may be that's it.

Considering the context of the quote, it is a game already out and likely critically acclaimed. I also bet it's Skyrim (which would be awesome since it would be our first Bethesda title). Unless it's Bioshock 1 and/or 2. Regardless, I'm up for any surprise. :)
