It seems the recent teaser of a new Linux & Mac port from Feral Interactive has seen the two platforms split, with Mac now getting it first.
When the "West Norwood" teaser was first announced, it was shown as coming to Linux & Mac at the same time. Now they each have an entry, with the Mac version due out first.
Now the Linux version is sat in the "Soon" section, with Mac in the "Very Soon" section:
Have you any idea what it is yet?
I have to say it's a shame. Not unexpected though, since Feral now have to work with a different graphics API for Mac. They also likely have two different teams working on Linux & Mac ports, so the Linux team might be encountering problems.
So from Feral: Linux isn't getting Bioshock Remastered, the Total War WARHAMMER 'Norsca' DLC is delayed for us and the XCOM 2: War of the Chosen expansion is not a day-1 Linux release either. Hopefully Feral will step up a bit for us, but I'm sure they have some surprises in store for us yet.
This year they've already given us some really fun games like HITMAN, Shogun 2 and DiRT Rally. I personally hope for some more great single-player games from them!

"West Norwood" now seems to have vanished.

Quoting: appetrosyanBut if you were to merge every other distribution into those narrow categories, you'd have a disaster. Arch is built in a very different way: it can't merge into Red Hat, because their entire ideology would be scrapped or lost. Same with Slack and Gentoo.
Well, I don't want to merge, I would like distro's like arch or others to vanish from the mainstream distro's and have their users and developers/maintainers switch to Ubuntu or Fedora/CentOS ;)
Maintaining a distribution is a lot of work, far more than 20 years ago. I'm much in favor of combining human resources into a few distributions, than having lots of understaffed ditro flavors. I'm sure Ubuntu's move with be very healthy for the Gnome project and lots of improvements will arrive to due more users and more people to contribute.
I know of course that Ubuntu and Fedora/CentOS aren't perfect but let's improve there instead of reinventing the wheel somewhere else.
PS: Dear reader, I'm in no way want to start a war about which distribution is the best, please replace Ubuntu/CentOs/Fedora with Arch, Gentoo or whatever fits your views better. My point is really just about fragmentation and to much things trying to solve the same problem. A little competition is good, but the fragmentation we have now serves no one imho.

Maybe it was simply the Norsca DLC.

Judging by the website i would say that yes the DLC was the west norwood project.

Isn't that DLC not due for release until the 24? Why would it disappear now and not then?
Seems like they have been making some programming errors on the site and it wasn't intentionally removed. It seemed a little like Bioshock for MAC wasn't meant to be announced yet but they messed up the UFO and were forced to announce it.

Just to clarify, has Feral actually said Bioshock remastered isn't coming to Linux?
I still haven't seen a statement to that effect. Just the generic, we have nothing to report on Linux at this time.

That could still happen as anyone actually asked Crystal Dynamics if they green lit it
