All aboard the hype train, as Feral Interactive are setting off with a new native Linux game that's being teased on their port radar.
For their Tweet:
5PM on a Friday, we're getting ready for the
#BankHolidayWeekend to start, and the Feral Radar decides to kick into life with a new blip for macOS and Linux. Well, whatever. We'll fix that rusty old thing on Tuesday. Okay, bye!
Here it is:
"Working with fire and steel" huh—anyone got any thoughts? I have a lot that come to mind, but I don't think I've ever managed to guess a single one of them correctly, they're always a damn good surprise.
Really great to see more coming from Feral, I sure do hope they have more on the way too. They're a company that has supported Linux really well for a long time now, both in terms of games and wider community efforts.
What a week!

"Working with fire and steel" is a song from China Crisis... there is always a song in the clue!

The most obvious thing to spring to mind is Starforge (Star from the picture, Forge from the description) but considering that game is old, everyone hated it, and I think it's even free now, I doubt that's what they are teasing.

I don't even try to guess, but please let it be "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" :)
(although I wouldn't mind to wait for a year or two until there is a game of the year edition)
PS: Good timing from Feral!

My immediate thought was Mount & Blade: Bannerlord, since a previous release was “With Fire & Sword”, but I think that's paradoxically* both too on-the-nose and not close enough. :)
I suspect Expalphalog might be on to something with “forge”. But I don't really follow games that aren't already on Linux very closely, so I'm struggling to think of recent ones with “forge” in the title. I'm sure there are some.
*See what I did there? Also, it's unlikely Feral would port a Paradox title.

I gave up guessing last time when "proud seat of lucifer" teased total war: warhammer II and there were so many clues leading to Hellblade.

Quoting: PatolaFire & Steel applies to a lot of games... But I wonder when Feral will port Middle-Earth: Shadow of War.That title did come to mind. I would love it if so.

Same here, I was dead certain it would have been Hellblade or Agony. With Microsoft now owning Team Ninja I doubt we ever see a native release of Hellblade for Linux.

IF*
That game is one of the little that have my interest, actually. But it's been some time and we have to face it… maybe we won't have it at all.

Middle Earth Shadow of War. You have to work with Fire & Steel to make weapons of War.

Song from China Crisis... What bigger crisis has China endured than when it was partitioned into Three Kingdoms!!!
Please, let Total War Three Kingdoms be on the works.
Long live his excellency, the Prime Minister Cao Cao!!

That was my first thought too. Wouldn't say no to Shadow of War though, either :)

As, always, I'buy anything from the feral store, except strategy games :) They are the real professionals in term of game porting.

MacOS not iOS! ;)

I always smile when I imagine Liam taking these screenshots :D
Though nobody said "Skyrim" yet... Is that because of Photon? So I guess I'll say Skyrim :P
Maybe a title that already has a Mac release? That time around, I don't know, though. I have so many games to play that I haven't been paying attention to the games that were releasing on other platforms :/
Edit: oh, I took the above comment to the letter. Scratch the part about the MAC port, then!
Edit2:
Wrong! This is obviously Crysis (I first parsed your post in this way).

Oh well... Another Total War makes perfect sense... With all the other Total War games Feral already did... Unfortunately, this would be a good example why we need Proton though.
