Many asked, now Feral Interactive have answered. Rise of the Tomb Raider [Steam] is officially on the way to Linux! What a fantastic way to start a Tuesday with news like this! It still amazes me to this day that Linux will have games like this, very happy with the news!
Feral aren't saying exactly when it will arrive, but they had a tweet out that said "This Winter" which has since been deleted (Edit: replaced with this one). You can see the official confirmation on their official site which now says "This spring", so it could be here sometime between March and late June.
The advantage of getting a game later than Windows, is we get the 20 Year Celebration edition which has all the DLC.
For those wondering, it will indeed use Vulkan on Linux! This is confirmed at the bottom of the Features page on the mini-site.
Here's the trailer Feral put up:

The game has been loved by reviewers and users alike, so it looks like it will be a solid hit for Linux gamers after more Lara. It takes the first game and makes nearly all aspects of it bigger and better than before, including more actual Tombs.
It seems this is the game that has replaced the previous Linux port teaser of "O VAIN ILLUSION OF GLORY AND GRANDEUR" that was put up back in October of last year. We still have to discover the game behind the "It's just a shot away" teaser that was put up in January, so there's more on the way remember!

The word Optimize seems to be unknown to the Ark developers.ok, I don’t like games like this, but I bought it to support feral and to test vulkan. yahoooooo!!!Why would they need to? The game already runs on Linux and is arguably more native then their ports. It isn't very well optimized and has some bugs but that's just ark on all platforms
ps. any hope feral can put hands on Ark survival evolved?

I know it is OT, but I have to short answer: if you compare it to windows, you think you are playing on unreal engine 1 on linux and unreal engine 3 on windows. bugs are present on windows too, but the graphic is since 1 year like another game 10 years newer.

I mean it's graphics are nice on Linux. They may or may not be better on Windows seeing as I've never played it on Windows but the graphics are good enough. Graphics don't make or break a game for me and it's not like they're bad in the first place.ok, I don’t like games like this, but I bought it to support feral and to test vulkan. yahoooooo!!!Why would they need to?

Yeah and some of the bugs I've seen make me think studio wildcard is just a front for Bethesda XDXD. Oh well. That's just ark. It would be nice if they fixed some stuff instead of adding more content. I like the content but some of the bugs make the game rather frustrating to play at times.The word Optimize seems to be unknown to the Ark developers.ok, I don’t like games like this, but I bought it to support feral and to test vulkan. yahoooooo!!!Why would they need to?

It's a great game, but it could be so much better if they stopped using the Bethesda method.

Anyway that's enough about Ark, this is supposed to be about Rise of The Tomb Raider, does she start with the same skills she has at the end of Tomb Raider? or do we start from scratch?

I finally got round to watching the trailer for the movie yesterday & I wonder why isn't the lunatic cargo cult worshipping an undead Japanese queen/demon/ghost good enough for a movie? It seems to me (from the trailer) they're re-doing parts of the storyline from the second Jolie movie with the illuminati (here called Trinity) wanting to release a deadly plague on the world.
Why change the story from the game that much?

Why change the story from the game that much?This could be considered a spoiler I guess, but if you read the journals in the game, the cultists do actually want to "burn" everyone who isn't a follower of the goddess with her power. I guess that's not much different from a deadly plague.

Either way I'm looking forward to it.

Shockingly (as to me, too) I can say that I will not buy this game (or any future Steam game for that matter).
Unless of course we can play it without Steam. But I don't see this happening on Feral's side.
After the usual update of gcc/glibc and Steam stopping running (no 32bit support), I can say that I'm off with this.
This has two pluses:
1. I will not have to put up with 32bit anymore. Yay!
2. This has to be separated really:
a) Will stop feeding money to Steam/Valve.
b) Since I have a no GOG policy too, I won't spend money for games at all! WOW
c) all this leads to this - will save some money and feed AMD for their new policy.
I've been thinking about this for some time now. … NVIDIA, as they say.

AMD dont make games nor do they have a gaming store and buying amd hardware is pointless if you want to do nothing but facebook literally any processor from the last 10 plus years will do.

Feral and their bad release timing...
Right now this game is on sale; is a perfect time for to release the Linux version.

After being fed up with this on Fedora using mesa-git, Solus' Linux Steam Integration helps out a lot. Though it won't help with your other issues.

I hope it won't be too long given that this one doesn't have the Microsoft exclusivity.

Humblestore lists it as linux but its not on ferals store. Humble has jumped the gun before. Anyone know if the coop survival thing is crossplatform?
