If it wasn't enough that Feral Interactive are porting Life is Strange 2, Total War: WARHAMMER II and Total War: THREE KINGDOMS to Linux they're also teasing another new Linux port. They also only asked a few days ago to send port requests to them so they're really quite busy for us lately.
Popping up on their port teaser radar today was this "CRYPTIC OBSCURITY":
It's currently sat in the "Quite Soon" part of their radar, not that it really means all that much as it's very ambiguous but it is always a good bit of fun. I've said before how I hoped they would start announcing things sooner, looks like they're going to do so since they've announced multiple titles only in the last few months and now we're here again.
I honestly can't imagine what Linux gaming would be like without the titles Feral has ported, hope to see this continue for many years to come.
So grab your thinking caps, brew up something tasty and start your guessing.

Lol, "CRYPTIC OBSCURITY" is such an ironic clue.
But yea, it's SotTR.

Sounds like either Shadow of the Tomb Raider or Cyberpunk 2077
don't know anything about the clue though, except ther's a book with this name
Sounds good! And with "Quite soon" it should be a release before Windows/consoles. :D

If it is Shadow of the Tomb Raider, they better reveal it soon because they are losing sales in droves to Steam Play.
This is why Wine/Steam play is a double edged sword.
Wine has it's place for older unsupported software but I get the feeling that devs will make their game work in steamplay and claim Linux support. Which in turn will hit devs like Ferral as they will be deemed unneeded.
I still wont by a game even if it does work in wine/steam play well, the old saying "No tux NO bucks!"

The shortest gap between the release of the Windows version and the release of the Linux version I've seen in Feral Interactive games is about 3 months. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was released in September 2018 so we can expect it in December 2018 or January 2019.
Nope. Xcom2 was same day.

I'm waiting for Feral before buying SotTR and Hitman 2 so it better be one of these.
I think the former is more probable, given the hint and the publisher...

I took a screenshot of a zoomed in version of the picture and am now pretty certain that I have no idea what it is.Palm trees and glyphs in stone makes me think of GTA5... lol. Fat chance of that happening though.
There are palm trees and there are strange ancient glyphs/art chiselled in to stone. I suppose it could somehow be Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

I really hope it's something other than Tomb Raider. The first one was alright, if a bit generic, and the second one was the same game just not as good.
I love the TR games, though that's pretty much how I feel regarding most of their TW and racing port announcements.

I was too lazy to crop the image before running a reverse image search, so this is the result I got:
Still, it's a pretty solid clue. I say, it's the new mobile Diablo. (I mean it says 'mobile phone case', so...)

I think that they live it easy for us:

Which seems to be a Peruvian glyph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pusharo
And you know, Shadow of the Tomb Raider story is located in Peru (or with an Inca like civilization).

Looks like porting games to Linux is actually a good job. I wonder why isn't so many like Feral out there.

In a world where 100% of all Windows games would run in Proton in a way that's 100% indistinguishable from running it in Windows...why would it still matter if the port is native?
Because that's what Valve wants to do.
