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.

And you know, Shadow of the Tomb Raider story is located in Peru (or with an Inca like civilization).

Quoting: pete910Quoting: rustybroomhandleIf 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!"
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.
but would also like to see the next part of Hitman ... ;-)
