Feral Interactive are teasing a brand new native Linux port

Skyrim, obviously, like all the previous teasers.

With people now being able to buy and play (many) Windows games on Steam so easily, these teasers are not going to do Feral any favours.

Feral - just say what the port is so people know whether to wait.

Many of us make a point of buying in such a way that the porter is guaranteed to get something out of it. If we buy a non-native game now, sure it gets flagged as a Linux sale to the publisher, but when a native port comes out later, Feral get nothing out of it.

I was thinking about what new Total War game it could be.......

It's Skyrim or other forging game.
I want to be a Darksiders 2 or Dark Souls 3 too.

Maybe that's why they say "We'll fix that rusty old thing on Tuesday." The guessing game in itself is funny but might be damaging if it lasts too long...

I'm always excited for feral games. but I don't really like total war games ._.

China you say? Guess it's Total War: THREE KINGDOMS then.

Would be nice to see the series continued on Linux, however I personally would prefer something different.

Not going to blame Feral about the situation, I highly respect all the work they have done from day one, but it feels like it's hard to get ports outside of these 2 or 3 franchises for which they have developped all the tools for a smooth porting process. I guess the AAA studios they used to make deals with are harder to convince compared to what it was back in 2014-2015... We all know why.

Edit: Weird formulation.

Hope for Middle Earth Shadow of War or Shadow of the Tomb Raider :D

I think Feral must stop doing this porting zapping..

They should concentrate the porting skills in one game at a time..

Now they must focus in the ultra super delayed Life is Strange: Before the Storm.
