Feral Interactive are teasing ANOTHER new Linux port

By -

Feral Interactive are at it once again, go dust off those thinking caps as they're bringing another game to Linux.

From the famous Feral Radar, here's their latest Linux port teaser:

As a reminder, Feral Interactive have only recently release Life is Strange: Before the Storm and Total War: Warhammer II is confirmed to be coming this autumn. On top of that, last month they also put up another teaser that we're still guessing.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do try to get more ports out earlier now, especially with Steam Play which would eat into their Linux port sales. Anyway…looks like 2018 really will be another great year for Linux gaming!

The amount of Linux games Feral has ported now is kind of ridiculous: XCOM, XCOM 2, Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Mad Max, Shadow of Mordor, HITMAN, F1 2017, Life is Strange, Life is Strange: Before the Storm, Dawn of War II, Dawn of War III, DiRT Rally and the list goes on.

What do you think "AURORA" will be?

Quoting: MayeulCWell, this one was obvious. The seagulls, first, and then the name, Aurora.

Half-Life 3 Confiiiiiiiiiirmed! :D

As Linux exclusive baby!

Nah, to be fair, fuck exclusives. I'm okay with Windows users getting it 4 months later.

I thought working with fire and steel was warhammer 2 if not its more likely to be one of the other warhammer turn based games. Shadow of tomb raider is probably a given. The previous two games but both game after at least 18 month delays so its probably too soon. Hitman 2 would be good now that IO are independent they did authorise the port of the first hitman whether they got the sales return on it to do it again is another matter.

Well it could be the Aurora engine Neverwinter nights or the original witcher games used Aurora

I'm pretty bad at this game and I can't find the link with Seagulls, but searching Aurora reveals this:

A clue to Hitman 2?

I am going with Grand Theft Auto


I managed to link this to the following album and the track "I ran" has been referenced to GTA Vice city.

Aurora Borealis - The Greatest Hits
A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran

Quoting: fabry92It's probably another Total War :/
I hope so! Maybe Total War: Rome 2? (actually it's too old for that - 2013)

Not too old : they ported Medieval Total War II two years ago...

But I don't think it is this one. Maybe Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

GTA V would rock as well !

In my dreams, .....
Call OF Duty
Or
Battlefield
Or some good FPS ...

Seagulls and Aurora. Isn't there an Aurora in Subnautica? And seagulls would make sense...?

It has issues under Steamplay too. Fingers crossed for this.

A game made by Rockstar North? That's ticking a few boxes! :)

Birds! They fly in the sky!

SKYRIM AT LAST!

Hope that one of the clues answers is Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I really want to play the last part of the saga.

I have no idea which could be the game out of the my SotTR wish (but a Just Cause 3 wouldn't be another bad wish, doesn't it?). But anyway, whatever comes out from Feral I'll end up buying it so... be prepared my dear wallet.

Quoting: jens
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoWith Proton doing a good job for the gaming on Linux, Feral really should STOP with these silly things and just announce the games.

As far as I know they announce as soon as they are allowed to. You know what an NDA is?

On-topic: F1 2018, Life is Strange2, Hitman 2 or Shadow of the Tomb Raider would fit with Feral's history, though no clue from the hints.

Then don't announce anything until the NDA expires.

I agree with Comandante Ñoñardo, at this point in time, it seems a bit silly to start these guessing games.

I don't know how that clue leads to Dragon Quest XI, but could this please be Dragon Quest XI? Please? Pretty please? I would also accept HITMAN 2.

Quoting: LeopardFuck it ; Skyrim!

Well, there is an Aurora Borealis to be seen in Skyrim...
psycho_driver Sep 21, 2018
The Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (->Aurora Borealis aka Northern Lights) is dead on. Their Greatest Hits album is also "Aurora Borealis", so it could be tied in with a song on that album. I'd bet ol' lefty this is the path they're (somewhat obviously imo) leading us down for clues . . .

From reddit: "It's propably LIS2. Aurora Creek was the original name of arcadia bay."

And then I googled to find this: http://life-is-strange.wikia.com/wiki/File:BtS_Aurora_Creek.jpg

Seems pretty solid to be Life is Strange 2. Unless Feral are trying to throw us off :P
Coolit Sep 21, 2018
That's awesome,

Although I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for ports of either Skyrim, Fallout 4 or Witcher 3 in the future :D

I will tell you what it is not: it is no excuse from criticisms.

Then you should criticize the one forcing Feral to sign the NDA and not Feral who have no choice what so ever in the matter (other than not signing a NDA and thus not porting the game either).

I think that would be an intentional decision comes from Feral.

Remember they announced Batman Arkham Knight for Mac / Linux and got cancelled?
