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.
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Quoting: edokotor. It was an easy one.
I would very, very happy if Kotor and Kotor2 are ported to Linux, but I send a email to Aspyr asking for this possibility and they answered me that it was not in their plans

I gotta give respect to Aspyr and Feral with the work they have gotten done and with the work they continue to do.

Quoteits a game that has been asked for literally thousands of times.Like Kotor after the android release, even before that people have been requesting that game
QuoteIt's also personally one of my favorite games of all timeKotor, thats why they started working on the port of it to android and iOS, they have stated than they are big fans of that game.
QuoteI can promise there will be many penguin smiles out thereLike what would happen with a Kotor port :)
If somehow Im right about this, I would feel bad about spoiling it before time, thats why I prefer to express my opinion here rather than on Reddit lol

Quoting: wolfyrionLet me just list 5 AAA games that have been asked thousand times :
Alien Isolation
The Evil Within
DarkSouls II
The Witcher 3
Mortal Combat X
Games that we already know that are coming to SteamOS/Linux are:
Shadow of Mordor
Evolve
Batman: Arkham Knight
Total War Attila
Payday 2
Saints Row IV
Grid 2 Autosport
Witcher 3, Shadow of Mordor, Batman: Arkham Knight and Grid Autosport are already announced for linux. And except Witcher 3 those are ported by Feral. So those wouldn't be a great surprise.
A nice guess, though is Evolve. It was requested so many times and except for the text on Valves SteamOS pages it was never confirmed.
My other guess would be Far Cry 3 or 4. And I thik it's an older game, because I imagine a new game being more coding than older games. But I'm really excited.

Bioshock? Obviously?
(Even though it was Feral who did the OSX port)

Still going for Dishonored. The engine would fit, and people keep asking for it.
FarCry is always an option, since they've been looking for people porting their engine for like ages now. Could be somebody stepped in there, and porting a AAA engine would certainly need "all hands on deck". And as I know they laid down their Linux-Staff, which either indicates they don't do the port themselves or decided not to port (which is not a very likely option nowdays except if they keep producing CryEngine only the platforms they support now). Will depend on if they decide to compete with the other enigines on the market.
