Seems like Feral Interactive may have a few surprises for Linux in 2020

By - | Views: 57,762

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?

Being realistic, I would like to see ported by Feral the last 3 Codemasters games:
-DIRT Rally 2
-F1 2019
-GRID (2019)

Please Feral, make it possible!

I would love to get native support for the upcoming Empire of Sins. Cyberpunk 2077 would be a great one to have too! Also getting Borderlands 3 would be the cherry on the topping. :)

Cyberpunk 2077 would be a nice thing.

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

Still want FINAL FANTASY XV, this one seems pretty hard to get running on linux, which may make it a good choice.

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

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.

The lack of new or still supported online FPS games is the biggest problem for me, especially since the disappointing cancellation of Insurgency: Sandstorm and the dropping of support for Natural Selection 2 (although the latter does work decently on Steam Play so far). Of course the problem is that online FPS games tend to receive frequent updates, so Feral Interactive would need to be hired for long-term porting of those. Not to mention potential problems with porting anti-cheat systems.
