Another one?! Yes! Feral Interactive have begun teasing us once again with a new upcoming Linux and Mac port.
On their famous port radar, one they jokingly claim has a mind of it's own, is this new clue for Linux and Mac:
"Flushing Point"
For those interested, here's a higher resolution picture:
They only just recently released Total War: WARHAMMER II, with Life is Strange 2 and Total War: THREE KINGDOMS and Shadow of the Tomb Raider all confirmed to be coming.
I know some of you groan about the teasers, but they're a good bit of fun in my book. They've seemingly started announcing titles quite a bit sooner than before too which is great.
What do you think it will be this time? So many announcements lately, this is fantastic to see. If it's HITMAN 2 or something more open-world, I'm completely sold. Shutup and take my money.

Ok, I'm late for theory play but many of you here have come with great guesses. Lets see if I can summarize them:
Maybe the clue it's not about the mural or the phrase but with the location... just saying.
- Darksiders III: Don't know a lot of this one, but seems to be plausible based on the rooftop mural thematic
- DIRT 2: Fits with the phrase but I'm not sure how it relates with the Pegasus and the son of Poseidon (by the way, nice finding silentprocyon!)
- Bioshock 1 or 2: doubt is this one as they have been already ported to OSX
- AC Odyssey: fits for the Pegasus and Greek character over it
- Skyrim: Quite probable if it wasn't for Fallout 76 disaster
- Hitman 2: Has sense due to old partnership of Feral but I'm not sure how it relates with the clue...
- Shadow of War: same as Hitman 2... or maybe a little better related if you say that the Pegasus looks like a Caragor
- Batman [a-zA-z]*: already have OSX port
- Cyberpunk 2077: Could be but it would be the first game to published on GoG if so. Probably this last thing makes it no plausible as Feral like to have their own store (something that won't be possible with GoG)
Maybe the clue it's not about the mural or the phrase but with the location... just saying.

Quoting: fleskDefinitely A Hat in Time or one of the LEGO games this time.
They have already ported the Lego games to OSX so that's not it.

- Batman [a-zA-z]*: already have OSX port
Batman: Arkham Knight is Windows only on Steam. Given that they pulled out of doing the port before it seems unlikely, unless they think they can make a better job of it now Vulkan/Metal is an option.

the problem wasnt the API. arkham knight was very buggy. they even took it down and re-released it

the PS4 asylum remastered version for PC also would be an option. 10 years after release

With Proton, it makes less and less sense to port old games. So probably no Skyrim, no Batman Arkham Knight or other old games anymore.
Which is good, methinks. Let them focus on new games - and announce earlier, so people don't buy games that work ok in Proton, but wait for ports. Because of that Hitman 2 is unlikely, as it reportedly works well with Proton.

saddly only arkham origins works OOTB. knight ist totally borked. for the linux community it would make more sense to port batman, than hitman 2, becuase hitman 2 works OOTB
but i think they make more money with hitman 2. and it should be easy to port, because it is nearly the same game as hitman 1
Hitman: Absolution would be nice. its also totally borked

True, but the key thing is money: Proton raises the bar. For games like Hitman 2 it's either 0 day release (or shortly afterwards) or the risk of missing the boat, if many Linux gamers bought the game thanks to good enough Proton performance.
Well, another thought: if there is a Linux native port in the works, would original publisher intentionally break Proton compatibility to keep feasibility of the port?
