Were you alarmed that Feral Interactive didn't have any new Linux ports listed on their radar? Worry no more, as a new UFO (Unidentified Feral Object) has appeared over Linux.
Here's the new teaser from the radar:
For those that can't read it, it says "FORT DU KREMLIN-BICETRE". The picture is of Maggie Simpson from the opening credits of, you guessed it, The Simpsons.
Just be aware this doesn't mean it's coming soon, it could be many months away, but it's still exciting to think about!
Does anyone have a clue? Go on, open up in the comments. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

My guess is it's something set in France, featuring a silent protagonist (since Maggie famously never almost never talks).
I'm not sure about teh France part, but "recent" silent protagonists that spring to mind are:
* Doom Guy (I'm not sure if the most recent DOOM's protagonist is silent or not, and Doom is traditionally set on Mars/in Hell, not France..)
* "The New Kid" in South Park games (but those are owned by Ubisoft..)
* Corvo, from Dishonored (but this series is owned by Bethesda.. although the games were developed in France, so maybe that's the link here?)
* Chell/Gordon, from Portal/Half-Life (We have these series already, HL3 confirmed set in France?!?!)
* Jack/Subject Delta, from Bioshock and Bioshock 2 respectively. (No idea what the French link would be here though)
* Link, from LoZ (Nintendo probably aren't about to release their titles on Linux when they have a new console brewing)
I'd really love to see Dishonored on Linux, but I sincerely doubt Bethesda are suddenly going to start porting their titles to Linux. They've never shown any interest in us as far as I recall. None of the other games seem particularly likely either. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree with the silent protagonist thing.

Maybe it isn't complicated, and it's just a Simpson's game.

Quoting: camocelticI have to say, if this does turn out to be the new Hitman, I'm not supporting it. Ignoring the "I hate always-online DRM" argument, I have satellite internet. It's naturally a bit spotty, and some things just don't work, probably thanks to the latency. I'm not going to pay for a gimped version of the game, seeing as how progression seems to be locked if you play offline. Hitman would be the perfect game for me if it weren't for that major decision.
On a lighter note, here's one of the branches.
The game has an Offline Mode, which carries over achieved suits and weapons, you just can't see your score or do elusive targets =P. You can alos do the story completely offline if you really wanted to, you just need to be online to Unlock anything.

Maggie sucks a pacifier... Something French... Maybe a France-related game that sucks? But BioShock Infinite is already on Linux. Remember Me then?

Hitman was being talked about last year... https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/hitman-looks-like-its-coming-to-steamos-linux.7384
So is it Hitman? Certainly a possibility, could well be the most logical one.
If pigs were to start flying and all kinds of things previously thought impossible happened and Zenimax started wholeheartedly supporting Linux... Well, if Skyrim came to Linux it'd be nice if it brought the CK with it.

Ubi porting a game to linux? Nonsense.
(I hope you're right tho lol...)
(ugh which is not true, just checked steam, they have 3 games on linux...)
(huh most weird experience today lol...)
Yeah, none of those are uplay games though. They also have several titles on GOG.com (Assassin's Creed 1 included), no uplay of course.
I'm not expecting any uplay titles on Linux, so I was just joking (since the infamous Sade was known to have been a patient in that hospital).
About AC: As 'games' they're mediocre at best; and as to story & writing they've jumped the shark many, many times over. But just for the environments, and the 'virtual tourism' they enable me to do, I absolutely love them.

This must have something to do with World War one or two:

(You have to copy&paste the links)
Company of Heroes 2 and Verdun are already ported to Linux. What else is there and how does Maggie fit in? I'm not hoping now that they will port Battlefield 1. ;)
Maybe Company of Heroes 1? Would fit. I think it's is the first part of Company of Heroes. Maggie is a Baby. :)
I think it is wonderful, but I am surprised that such old games are ported. I've already purchased all of this via Humble Bundle. There was a strategy pack with Total War, Company of Heroes and Warhammer 40k. I bought it at that time only because of Total War and did not believe that the others will be ported. Is fantastic but is it worthwhile for the publisher and Feral? Most people have already bought these old classic games I think.
However, it makes Linux as a gaming platform much more attractive if someone can play such old titles naively. The one or the other Linux user has been around for a while. ;)
EDIT: Now I saw that it could be Hitman. Games from this publisher (Square Enix) have already be ported and they are top sellers. This makes more sense than Company of Heroes.

It's almost certainly Hitman, I'm afraid that game is not really my cup of tea. I'd really like Valiant Hearts: The Great War or something from Capcom or SquareEnix.

Hitman is from SquareEnix and Eidos Interactive. Both Linux friendly publishers. :)
I think it could actually be the current Hitman part. Similar to Deus: Ex. Wow.
These are not my favorite games either. But it is absolutely great to have such grandiose spectacles on Linux. Must have played in any case. Next year I will update my graphics card. These games look just great have a cool story and so on. They are like movies. It's all about this.

MAC and Linux Depots are FULL of DATA :P
Yeah it's Hitman releasing on the 31st of Jan sounds like. Just keep in mind the always-online DRM that this game has or will probably have. If they don't remove it now or eventually I definitely won't be supporting this one sadly.
I'm not alone. I was wondering why Feral (and others) don't release a DRM-Free Build, i would like to buy many games from them.
(Maybe i missed it)
Do you use steam to play said games because if you do you are already using a DRM system.
