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?

Ultimately these teases are shooting themselves in the foot except in one situation: A day 1 (or soon after) Linux release. Then they can be as secretive as they want. Or if they reveal the game before it becomes for sale on Windows.

I would bet on subnautica, got it in a bundle a while ago and I just saw it in my library. It looked good when I saw the early access LPs and now it's fully finished and most bugs sorted out I thought I would try it out with steamplay.
You need to launch with -force-opengl and medium setting and borderless but runs practically flawlessly. Unfortunately it doesn't have vulkan but it seems it would be a real easy opengl port.

Quoting: liamdaweFrom 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
LiS2 is not set in Arcadia Bay though :S:

Quoting: BrisseWell if they put "Arcadia Bay" as the teaser, that would be so obvious it would have been pointless ;)Quoting: liamdaweFrom reddit: "It's propably LIS2. Aurora Creek was the original name of arcadia bay."

Quoting: fedotixIn my dreams, .....
Call OF Duty
Or
Battlefield
Or some good FPS ...
If you mean story based fps i agree we could use more.If you mean multiplayer there are plenty of death match fps games on linux. I would prefer a native version of warface rather than cod to be honest but i get cod and bf have more mainstream appeal.
But linux does have some good native fps games not all games have a narrative but most do (Bioshock infinite,metro and 2013 shadow warrior) theres also ironmaiden (indie classic fps style)Doom 3 Prey (2007 version) & Postal 2.

Quoting: lucifertdarkQuoting: aldyMetro Exodus - The Aurora TrailerThe Metro games are published by Deep Silver, they have their own porting team & it's not Feral. I think Liam may have hit the nail on the head with this one though, LiS2.
Yes but deep silver are now owned by THQ Nordic, erm no they didnt they used VP to port saints row

Quoting: rea987Quoting: 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.
This is called PR. If Feral announces whole list of titles that it has been contacted, that would make a shit storm for couple weeks and after that people will forget about them. By doing that, they keep the interest in a certain point which is much better for awareness. People keep wondering and talking about it which is basically free publicity. Got it?
But the thing is i have no idea if you watch it but the linuxgamecast are in regular contact with the guys that do the porting at Feral they seem to always know what games are coming the one thing the podcast confirmed is the software guys find the radar thing really really stupid but its the way the PR team have chosen to go.

If you look at the short list of companies that Feral currently works with and investigate their recent/back catalog, it is no mystery to figure out potential candidates. Some naive fellas keep yelling for Skyrim or GTA but in reality, there are always handful of financially lucrative titles, not more.
