Feral Interactive are teasing a brand new native Linux port

Quoting: m0nt3

Quoting: MblackwellWhy wouldn't it be Total War: Three Kingdoms?

Because it is not scheduled for release until sometime in Spring 2019 according to steam.

But with Proton, I would advertise my games as early as possible, if I were Feral... We are talking 8-10 months from now... It's not that far.

Edit: This said... Working with Fire and Steel from China Crisis is considered New wave / Post Punk music... Just saying... :)

Maybe someone can make something out of this?

Doing a search about 8 pointed stars, I stumbled upon Octogram (obviously) and some interresting informations about a Latvian god named Auseklis...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auseklis

Okay, I'm calling it: Shadow of War. This isn't after hours of extensive research. It's actually been in the back of my head for a while, and on a whim I looked up its Wikipedia page this afternoon:

QuoteThe player continues the story of the ranger Talion and the spirit of the elf lord Celebrimbor, who shares Talion's body, as they forge a new Ring of Power

Yes, yes, “fire and steel”, and the Ring is gold. But a forge is usually steel, and the background to the image seems to be gold. Plus Feral did Shadow of Mordor.

Not sure where the star comes in (I'm not a big Tolkein fan), but if I were a betting man, that's where my money would be right now.

I do not think, historically, games that appear under the soon section of the feral radar are 8-10 months out. Since F1 2018 is likely an easy port because of F1 2017 and it was on the radar before steam play was officially announced, therefore feral stuck with their radar plans. We shall see how feral handles things going forward, I do believe they need to be as transparent as possible in order to collect money from ports, instead of steam play. They have used wine as a reason for not porting older games before. We shall see. Also, feral has not put a game out on the radar that was not out for Windows. So F1 2018 and less likely shadow of war. That said, I really would prefer shadow of war.

I don't have a good idea what the clues are pointing towards, however just sharing a few titles that it "could" be, and I would like. Trying to avoid ridiculous titles which will never come to Linux.

Shadow Warrior 2 (I did manage to shoe-horn the clues onto this title earlier)
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Hitman 2
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War (note that the Definitive Edition is due soon, on Windows)
Left Alive (Square Enix)
Elex

Quoting: m0nt3So F1 2018 and less likely shadow of war. That said, I really would prefer shadow of war.

I've seen at least three guesses for F1 2018 around here, but I am having a lot of difficulty understanding what the picture of an 8-point star and "Working wit fire and steel" have to do with that game. Moreover, I can't shake the feeling that Feral might skip F1 2018.

Don't get me wrong, though, I'm so looking forward to that game it's already been wishlisted so Codemasters are aware of the demand.

In fact I personnally expect to see a port of Shadow of the Tomb Raider because of the previous two games that already got ported. A day-one linux release, like what happened with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, would be awesome, but one may dream and I totally don't know how it could relate to the clues...

I do suspect we will get Shadow of the Tomb Raider, just not sure on when. I doubt it is this radar blip. It has almost been a year since shadow of war was released. A close to day one release of Shadow of the Tomb Raider would be amazing. Which is something feral needs to do, especially with proton having launched and changing the market. I am just not sure if feral would put a game on the radar that doesnt release for another month. As long as its not RTS or Total War i am gtg.

Well the star in the picture has 8 points, but that's about the only connection I could make with F1 2018. However, ignoring the hint, F1 2018 would make the most sense given the time of this announcement.

Shadow of War is too old for radar, Shadow of the Tomb Rider and TW: 3 Kingdoms are not yet out on Windows.
