Feral Interactive are teasing ANOTHER new Linux port

By - | Views: 48,706

Feral Interactive are at it once again, go dust off those thinking caps as they're bringing another game to Linux.

From the famous Feral Radar, here's their latest Linux port teaser:

As a reminder, Feral Interactive have only recently release Life is Strange: Before the Storm and Total War: Warhammer II is confirmed to be coming this autumn. On top of that, last month they also put up another teaser that we're still guessing.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do try to get more ports out earlier now, especially with Steam Play which would eat into their Linux port sales. Anyway…looks like 2018 really will be another great year for Linux gaming!

The amount of Linux games Feral has ported now is kind of ridiculous: XCOM, XCOM 2, Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Mad Max, Shadow of Mordor, HITMAN, F1 2017, Life is Strange, Life is Strange: Before the Storm, Dawn of War II, Dawn of War III, DiRT Rally and the list goes on.

What do you think "AURORA" will be?

Quoting: rea987This is called PR. If Feral announces whole list of titles that it has been contacted, that would make a shit storm for couple weeks and after that people will forget about them. By doing that, they keep the interest in a certain point which is much better for awareness. People keep wondering and talking about it which is basically free publicity. Got it?

But the thing is i have no idea if you watch it but the linuxgamecast are in regular contact with the guys that do the porting at Feral they seem to always know what games are coming the one thing the podcast confirmed is the software guys find the radar thing really really stupid but its the way the PR team have chosen to go.

If you look at the short list of companies that Feral currently works with and investigate their recent/back catalog, it is no mystery to figure out potential candidates. Some naive fellas keep yelling for Skyrim or GTA but in reality, there are always handful of financially lucrative titles, not more.

Yes you can but in reality its far far too soon for Tomb Raider there was almost three year gap between Tomb Raider 2013 on linux there was an 18 month window from Rise of tomb raider so its not that. Sega have no more total war games to bring over. Deep Silver are now owned by THQ Nordic they have so far ported one game to linux that been desperados on gog so status up in the Air Hitman 2 IO is now fully independent and as i said it depends if there decision to port Hitman was lucrative or not because if it wasnt we wont see Hitman 2 at least natively.

tomb raider runs OK with proton

but it would be interesting how the vulkan port can compete with it

i hope it is YAKUZA. i think ZERO and KIWAMI are very similar to port, so they would have 2 games

I'd like to point out that port after port after port is a sign of healthy business for Feral. I've also heard that they have Job Vacancies... Go "native" Linux games?

But is it we have so much work we need more talent or is it in house talent hitting the abandon ship button

They made a deal with Warner Bros to publish Hitman 2. Good news about that is that Feral has worked with them before in games like Mad Max and Shadow of Mordor.

Potentially good news but WB did kill Batman after approving feral to port it so 50/50

I'd love to see some of the recent remakes SEGA has published on Steam. Yakuza or Shenmue would be outstanding additions to our catalogue.

I think if it were the latter, we would be getting fewer releases.

I agree it could be that for sure and i would like it to be but there is always that nagging doubt they have no business model without companies wanting ports, Steam play is big new variable. Ah well maybe am wrong and Feral goes from strength to strength I mean they deserve it Ryan C gordon pretty much was linux gaming(including his work with loki) until fereal.aspyr and vp and then later valve arrived.

Quoting: CoolitThat's awesome,

Although I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for ports of either Skyrim, Fallout 4 or Witcher 3 in the future :D

Witcher 3 is almost perfectly playable with DXVK. Only stream output support in Vulkan drivers is missing and perhaps a little more optimization and it will be more or less the same experience as on Windows 10.

Skyrim Special Edition should be perfectly playable as well once the audio issues get fixed. Graphically DXVK runs it very well.

Fallout 4 is somewhat worse than Skyrim, but i suppose given a little time will be a good experience as well.

So porting those 3 would be a wasted effort in my opinion.

I fully agree also dont see a world in which Zenimax suddenly goes back on a bunch of linux unfriendly design decisions and then randomly embraces linux and launches skyrim fallout 4 and future games on linux. I imagine the only scenario that happens is that tomorrow morning every copy of windows and mac os bricks leaving only linux and the world is forced onto the linux platform for everything then in that case expect native ports of Bethesda games.
