PayPalOriginally 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.

While 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
Can you not manually update by just adding the ppa and ensuring your running the latest kernel its what i do
What you think is the best driver for DXVK on AMD GPU i have a RX 570
I dont know about best i run 18.2.5 and just keep updating here is the ppa i use https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa

C'mon, Feral! Hurry up!
I'm waiting too, though I'm mentally preparing myself that Feral waits until all DLC's are out, similar like the release for Rise. But this is just guessing from me, really no idea when something can be expected :)

I suppose I can buy it right now, knowing that Feral will get their cut anyway.

This is what I read, but not sure if this applies here too. I decided to wait until Feral releases, still very much occupied with Dark Souls 3 :), and then order from their store.

It makes sense now that the final DLC has arrived...
I hope they hurry up, because the game runs well via PROTON!
Linux depots activity detected!!!!!!!!!Is it on the radar yet? I haven't checked. Either way I don't plan on buying it till it's native even if it works well in proton.

More Linux depots activity detected!!!
I guess we first have to wait for the Game-of-the-year edition. Though I hope that's not to far off considering all DLC's are released afaik.

The Game of The year edition already exist and is called Shadow of the Tomb Raider CROFT EDITION
By the way, there is another recent Linux depots activity

I wouldn't be so sure that this is the GOTY version. But lets see what happens. I'm also really looking forward to this one, certainly a first-day-full-price-at-feral-store purchase for me.

There is a TRIAL version of SotTR that you can use as a benchmark... My olde GTX970 barely can handle it.. Time for an upgrade.
