Alien: Isolation is a terrific horror game, and a franchise I get extremely excited for. Alien: Isolation is also one of the few "Alien" based games that wasn't a let down.
I actually played it on PS4, but I got rid of my copy quite a while ago and never finished it. Honestly, I found it far too scary (that's a good thing). It really does deliver, and it looks like it will come to Linux.
Thanks to SteamDB:
As always, this isn't an official confirmation, but good supporting evidence towards a port!
About the game (Official)
HOW WILL YOU SURVIVE?
Discover the true meaning of fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger. Fifteen years after the events of Alien™, Ellen Ripley’s daughter, Amanda enters a desperate battle for survival, on a mission to unravel the truth behind her mother's disappearance.
As Amanda, you will navigate through an increasingly volatile world as you find yourself confronted on all sides by a panicked, desperate population and an unpredictable, ruthless Alien.
Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive.
Check out Alien: Isolation on Steam, but don't you dare buy it until the Linux version is out. Don't let yourself be disappointed if it turns out not to be true. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Can anybody decipher who is doing the port?Nobody comfirmed its a port, so theres at least a chance it could be native. But I would guess its an eON by VP.

Note the "Linux - Data" depot. VP ports have a shared data depot because they only need the Windows data files. If I had to make a guess I'd say it's either Aspyr or Feral, but it could also be an in-house port.Can anybody decipher who is doing the port?Nobody comfirmed its a port, so theres at least a chance it could be native.

You're confusing stuff here. Feral and Aspyr do ports, too. Native ports.

That would be incredible!
(I really need to start my list of Windows forum users telling that game x or y will never come to Linux...)

Very nice. I've been meaning to play this on PS4, but now I'll hold off and wait for the Linux version. With so many good games coming to Linux recently, I have plenty to keep me busy anyway.

So if it's not a port, what is it? A little hint, a port is a port, no matter if it's native or not.

All-right ladies and gents, let's not have a "what qualifies a port" war.

I got it for free when I bought my R9 290. If this turn out to be a good port, I will buy the season pass to support the people porting it.

I wouldn't consider it a port if its native and in-house. Then the Win version is just a pre-release to test if its worth coming to Linux :D

I've seen plenty ppl finish this game and STILL I'm gonna buy it.
Despite being a bit too long this game is a MASTER PIECE, IMO.

I am very excited about this. I haven't played an Alien game since AvP back in '99, and that wasn't a horror game by any means.

Would love this, I watched a full LP on youtube as I never thought it would happen. Oh well by the time its a reality and I have cleared my ever growing backlog I will have forgotten most of it.

It was a bit quiet about upcoming Triple-A Linux games lately. Very nice too see we have this awesome news around. Will defintly buy this one (as long as its native).

Question:
I bought the base Alien Isolation many months ago - on Windows.
Never expected that game to come to Linux, tbh.
Now, who gets the money for the season pass when I buy it on Linux once it is released?
Will it go to the porting company or is it somehow tied to the where the money of the base game went?
Obviously the question only makes sense if it is not ported inhouse.
