Originally published by Square Enix and developed by Eidos-Montréal, Feral Interactive confirmed today that Shadow of the Tomb Raider is officially heading to Linux in 2019.
Making sure we have the full experience, with Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider already ported to Linux by Feral this is really quite exciting news! I've no doubt it will be using the Vulkan API, as I'm sure people will be wondering.
This replaces the recent teaser put out earlier this month on the Feral port radar. So we now have Total War: WARHAMMER II arriving today plus Life is Strange 2, Total War: THREE KINGDOMS and Shadow of the Tomb Raider all heading to Linux. Feral sure are busy and that's good for us.
Check out the trailer:

From the press release:
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Lara must master a vibrant jungle, overcome challenging tombs, and persevere through her darkest hour. As she races to save the world from a Maya apocalypse, Lara will be forged into the Tomb Raider® she is destined to be.
Lara's quest will take her from the bustling Mexican town of Cozumel to the dark heart of the Peruvian jungle where the hidden city of Paititi awaits. She'll navigate complex underwater caverns, traverse spectacular landscapes, and discover challenging tombs filled with traps.
Outnumbered and outgunned by Trinity, Lara must become one with the jungle and instill fear in her enemies through using mud as camouflage, disappearing into jungle vines or striking from above while perched in the canopy.
Let's hope for an early 2019 release. The longer they wait, the more likely it is they will lose sales from Steam Play. I mentioned before in a comment, that their timing will make or break future ports. I'm hoping for many more Feral ports in the years to come, having officially supported ports is great.
We will share more details closer to release and do our usual port report and review.
Quoting: EikeMoments like this make me wish we had tags to indicate people from the industry, but they would have to be optional of course.Quoting: MasterSleortThank you and pardon me for missing that :)
It's well hidden! :-)
Quoting: GuestI don't care how good Proton is. Unless there is a native/official port of the game I'm not interested. I'm getting tired of all the people spamming internet with "runs fine in Proton, no port needed" - Proton is your unofficial and unpredictable choice, use it, have fun, enjoy playing your games, but stop actively discouraging developers from native support. This behaviour is exactly what changed my mind about Proton from "this is actually good" to "I hate it".
I admire that mindset but its not going to be the majority view loads its rough numbers but google the number of "linux" versions of skyrim there are since after two weeks proton sale counts as linux its a high number not millions but its a high number.
Quoting: Whitewolfe80Good its the best game suggested that it could be and its great that we get the full trilogy. I do wish they didnt bother with the guessing game and just said Feral is proud to annouce "insert game title" is coming to linux "eta". Maybe i am wrong and people like it but its just get hopes up for games its never going to be.
From my understanding Feral announces as soon as possible. The guessing game is a way to give at least some clues to the outside world while they are contractually not yet allowed to announce.
Quoting: massatt212Debian sidQuoting: ScooptaWhile I'm looking forward to this I'm a bit worried it won't run for me. Rise of the tomb raider hangs for me on RADV 18.2.5. A lot of DXVK games also hang for me although not all of them. Hopefully by the time this comes out it won't be an issue anymore.
Are you running
Ubuntu or Arch ? cause im stuck at 18.2.2 on Ubuntu
