Feral Interactive are up to their usual funny business with a brand new Linux port teaser up on their radar.
This is now the second unannounced Linux game they're teasing (here's the other), so I can't wait to see what they have cooked up for us. The last teaser was put up a good few months ago now, so hopefully at least one of them will release soon. They're both in the outermost part of the radar, so they could still be a while away. We don't really know what "Quite Soon" actually means, it could end up being tomorrow, a week or more.
Anyway…here's the latest teaser from their port radar:
"It's just a shot away"
Begin the guessing games! What do you think this be? Exciting! I'm sure these won't be the only titles this year too, let's see if they can truly surprise us.
Quoting: g000hBut how do the 'Garibaldi' and 'Gimme Shelter' clues combined work out?The song starts with the line mentioning storm (and arguably other elements that can be found in the game) and as saclautaa points out Garibaldi, Oregon is literally the location that inspired Arcadia Bay in Life is Strange.
Quoting: GuestLife is Strange: Before the storm would be an insta-buy. I'm just curious if we would get a chance to recieve the "bonus" Max episode. AFAIK the bonus episode was available only for those who preordered the game. I would preorder it instantly but I don't buy anything until it has an official Linux support.It's actually a very interesting question.
Here's an interesting announcement the developers made on Steam about the bonus episode and upcoming boxed editions. It doesn't directly answer your question but to my mind it does suggest that if we're correct about this game being the game Feral is porting, it's very likely that their release will be synchronized with this release. After all Feral are experienced Linux porting professionals who are porting a game made in friggin' Unity, how hard can it be? They definitely should be able to make that deadline. Which in turn suggests, that this boxed edition might actually end up being multiplatform. Or that there will be some sort of digital equivalent sold by Feral. Or that we might simply never get the bonus episode. :V
I do hope it's eventually resolved and clarified one way or another.

Everyone who owns the Deluxe edition receives the bonus episode.
Quoting: Avehicle7887Bethesda and id Software are beer buddies, we'd probably see Doom and Wolfenstein before arrows start hitting the knee.Just love that verbalism :) Thanks for making me smile ;)
Quoting: tpauSo if we have a storm of war coming couldn't the hero of two worlds not be the players in world of warcrafts upcoming Battle for Azeroth?
No! Forget it! I'm refusing to get my hopes up again. Blizzard will never support Linux, and with how they are actively phasing out DX9 support I suspect they just hate me at this point.
See more from me
