It seems we're going to get more strategy game goodness, as Feral Interactive have confirmed Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia [Steam, Feral Store] will release for Linux. This is fantastic, as the Total War games are popular with a lot of people, having more of them on Linux is ideal.

Curiously, this is not a game they previously teased. It's now showing up as a new game on their teaser radar, so we still have the "It's just a shot away" game to be properly announced. This makes three games announced/teased for Linux this year so far from Feral, not a bad start!

About the game:

Thrones of Britannia is a standalone Total War game which will challenge you to re-write a critical moment in history, one that will come to define the future of modern Britain. With ten playable factions, you must build and defend a kingdom to the glory of Anglo-Saxons, Gaelic clans, Welsh tribes or Viking settlers. Forge alliances, manage burgeoning settlements, raise armies and embark on campaigns of conquest across the most detailed Total War map to date.

It releases for Windows on April 19th, with Feral Interactive saying the Linux version will release "shortly after Windows". 

“The choices players make in THRONES OF BRITANNIA’s campaigns have far-reaching consequences,” said David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral Interactive. “As they make decisions in response to a sequence of seismic events, players will forge their own diverging paths through the turbulent years following King Alfred the Great’s initial victory over the Viking invasion.”

Feral aren't giving out many other details yet, with system requirements due closer to release.

It's said that this is the first in "series of standalone games inspired by great turning points of history" so it's likely there's more to come after this as well.

Good news!
We were a bit short of Feral announcments lately, but it's surely getting better!
And I like the sound of "shortly after Windows release" (yes, I know which one would be even better ;) ).

Total War games aren't really my thing. I bought one of them to support Feral, but it's obvious that I don't have the time and patience for it these days. But it didn't replace one of the unknown hints on the Feral radar, so there is still more to look forward to!

I'm still waiting for Total War: Warhammer 2.
The first one is excellent as a game and as a port made by Feral.

This is still the good news.

I'm not into them either. I might have given this one a try - if I wouldn't be as much out of time as I am.
I'm happy Feral seems to do fine with these ports, though, as long as they emit a Tomb Raider or Life is Strange from time to time. ;)

Huge fan of the series, so I'm on board! I was getting worried about the new total war titles..this announcement is reassuring! Pleasantly surprised also by the "shortly after Windows" quote!

PS: I am also waiting for warhammer 2..
RichieEB Feb 19, 2018
Awesome, waiting for more news if you can play multiplayer with other platforms.

It seems Feral wants its "Favourite Linux game porter of 2018" award!

I have voted for somebody else last time to send them a warning.
So you all owe this one to me, I guess! ;)

I'll purchase this just to support Feral, most likely won't be playing it though. Not enough patience blessed me for these neither.
nox Feb 19, 2018
So many strategy games :(
liberodark Feb 19, 2018

dubigrasu Feb 19, 2018
Sigh...oh well, congratulations RTS fans!
Hope the sales will be good, because if Feral is doing well, we're doing well.
RossBC Feb 19, 2018
Looking forward too it :D
Mainly for the fights, not the campaign!
Rest might grow on me, dunno.

Hopefully with functioning cross platform multiplayer.
Xpander Feb 19, 2018
Not Really a game for me, but really good to see closer to windows release schedule. Can you play on the side of the Vikings there though? that would be much better imo :P

Total War: WARHAMMER was the only Total War Game i actually enjoyed, but because the story interested me as i have been always a fan of Warhammer Fantasy Setting. So WARHAMMER 2 would be much better for me.

Anyway good to see another Linux port poping up.

I don't see Creative Assembly changing anything in their system for the sake of Mac and Linux ports. So this is unlikely to happen.

Is this going to be substantially different from any other Total War game? Seems like if you've played one Total War game, you've pretty much played them all.

"Thrones of Britannia makes significant changes to the Total War formula", they say (+ video. I wouldn't believe too much of that until the release and the first reviews, though. If you're not into the genre, it might still not be too interesting.

If you want to support Feral Interactive or other porters, you MUST buy it on Linux and play their games on Linux platform within 2 weeks after buy. If you're not playing ported games on Linux within 2 weeks after buy or playing them another operating system (No metter Windows or WINE), all money goes to game creators, not for their porters.
So you MUST play Linux games within to weeks after buy.
It's not my opinion, it's Aspyr official answer on question how they get profit from Steam.
So, my friends, after buying Linux game, we must (or should if you arn't agree) play it on Linux first two week.
