Excellent news today folks, Feral Interactive have now officially confirmed that Tomb Raider will be coming to Linux "This Spring".

This is very exciting as it's another Square Enix to have on Linux. The game itself I personally thought was excellent, as I played some of it on the PS3 years ago but never finished it.

From the press release:

Quote“We are delighted to be bringing one of gaming’s best-loved franchises to Linux in the exhilarating form of Tomb Raider,” said David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral Interactive. “It traces Lara’s evolution from amateur explorer to battle-hardened survivor in an amazing adventure that Linux gamers will relish.”


Tomb Raider will be available from the Feral Store, Steam and other third-party stores, and will retail for US $19.99, £14.99 (inc. VAT) and €19,99 (inc. VAT).

About the game

Tomb Raider explores the intense and gritty origin story of Lara Croft and her ascent from a young woman to a hardened survivor. Armed only with raw instincts and the ability to push beyond the limits of human endurance, Lara must fight to unravel the dark history of a forgotten island to escape its relentless hold. Download the Turning Point trailer to see the beginning of Lara’s epic adventure.

Feral Interactive must have my secret list of games I want to see on Linux.

...I don't think it was a secret you wanted this game on Linux.

Also, yay! Tomb Raider! Nice work, Feral! (although the work isn't completed yet :D)

Thumb Raider! *thumb up* :D
Too bad I bought it long before, works on Wine with a decent GPU.

I didn't think it was any secret that at least one of the Tomb Raider games was coming to Linux, either!

Wow Liam is droping bombs this week.
I can easily play this game again.
Good news to see that feral is behinde another port ^^.
nocri Mar 23, 2016
I will buy it, just to force feral into porting more square enix games ! (and maybe also because of very high reviews :) )
Liam Dawe Mar 23, 2016
I do hope this opens the door for more SE games, like Hitman.
drmoth Mar 23, 2016
Very exciting news...although there were strong hints!
Pecisk Mar 23, 2016
Yep, looking forward to buying this, kept myself clean till Linux port arrives. I heard that second game is also OK-ish, and looking forward to that too - when it arrives.

How much icon grinding is it? I liked the first hours of Shadow of Mordor, but then, in felt more like work than like fun...

God has heard my prayers

Now, the endless wait

It is not an 'open world game' a la Shadow of Mordor or Mad Max.

It is quite linear experience, but level design and artistic direction is top notch imho and I kinda like this 'mysterious island where every ship ends up to be' feel very much. It has very detailed background history and it is worth to collect all those artifacts and read letters. Levels feel open and you can backtrack and go sideways to discover interesting ruins quite a lot. Or you can just follow main thread if that's your thing. Game flows very nicely and it is certainly one of my better AAA gaming experiences in last years.

Hmm, I already have this on Steam (caved in when it was released to try it in Wine). I wonder how I can give Feral some money...
Beamboom Mar 23, 2016
I'm not extremely surprised, but fantastic nonetheless. It's also a game I've not yet played, so this will be an instabuy for sure.

Good question. I think it must be?

Buy it as a gift for your friend who also does Linux gaming maybe.

Very nice news, one game I could soon erase from my Steam windows library (wine).
Still wait for Darksiders...

Do the same as me : i usually buy a boxed copy first and then all the dlcs from my steam linux client.
hidekin Mar 23, 2016
Does it works if you remove the game from your library and buy the game again ?
PublicNuisance Mar 23, 2016
I've already completed the game on Windows but I'd happily gift a copy to a buddy to throw some support their way when it comes out.
