Porting studio Feral Interactive [Official Site] have already given Linux a lot of games and it sounds like more are coming.
While this year they've already released Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, a Vulkan beta for Shadow of Mordor, Total War: THREE KINGDOMS and DiRT 4 plus big updates/expansions to Company of Heroes 2 and Total War: WARHAMMER II. Still to come is Life is Strange 2, which Feral previously teased to arrive sometime soon.
After that, we already know Feral is porting Total War Saga: TROY but what about more games, is that the end of it for Linux? Going by their replies to people on Twitter, like this one "We may have a few Linux games planned for 2020... ;)" they seem to indicate there may be some surprises for us next year.
That's good news of course, since Steam Play/Proton was an obvious worry that they might stop porting. There's tons of games that are completely broken with Steam Play and plenty that perform really badly that Feral could certainly do their porting magic with. Actual support would be good too and Feral certainly know what they're doing.
What game would you like to see Feral port to Linux and support?
Hat tip to NuSuey.

I'm overly happy already that they don't stop, but as you're asking...
Red Dead Redemption II
Gears 5, Forza Horizon 4, PUBG, Resident Evil 2 Remaster (and other games which not working under Proton due to EAC and MFPLAT), Division 2 (because of exclusivity of EPIC store and not available in steam), Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands, FAR CRY5 and FAR CRY New Down (because under Proton not working networking code and impossible playing this game in co-op)
war thunder (VULKAN fix)

I'd love to see a native build of RDR2.
But it won't happen.
Since they have done the Stadia version in house,
it would be technically no big thing to get it out.
I'm sure, like many others, it's Rockstar's business decision not to release on the Linux desktop. :/

I'd like them to port Insurgency: Sandstorm or Resident Evil 3 remake. Apparently RE2 doesn't work on Linux with the newest Ryzen CPUs, so I cannot play it since I've got a new computer. I'm afraid RE3 wouldn't run either (RE7 does work though). It also would be ironic if Feral ported Halo: MCC.
2 Total War ROME 2
3 + modmanager Steam for Attila Total War
4 Company of Heroes 1
5 Frospunck
6 Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
7 Bioshock HD Remastered
-DIRT Rally 2
-F1 2019
-GRID (2019)
Please Feral, make it possible!

All of these are singleplayer or co-op so they probably won't need anti-cheat.

Maybe Dying Light 2? I think i remember something about the studio not having the same people that ported it to linux, could be asking feral for help there.
Really just hoping for something that isn't strategy based, i tried to like those type of games, but never quite did. I also feel like i'll have enough racing games.
edit: Right, Metro Exodus would be great

Cyberpunk
Mechwarrior 5
And maybe a good fighting game, like Tekken 7.
Quoting: PatolaWhat CPUs specifically? Mine is a Ryzen 7 2700 and it (RE2 Remake) works perfectly.It's only for Zen 2 (3xxx series). I have 3700X.
