The
Kickstarter page for
Wasteland 2 has word that inXile entertainment's RPG
sequel is now available. Here's the
launch trailer, and
here's the announcement from lead designer Brian Fargo:
I can hardly believe that it has been two and half years since I stood out in
the Mojave Desert and started the filming of my Kickstarter campaign. All the
while knowing it was the last and only hope for a Wasteland 2.
I’m very proud that we have delivered on our promise of the deep and nuanced
CRPG that you had all been hoping for. I’m also quite proud of the team at
inXile for their hard work and passion to deliver something special. It was the
highlight of my career when you stepped up to support the development of this
game. Having your trust meant everything and there was no way we were going to
let you down.
I am really looking forward to seeing all of your comments and the unique
experiences you’ll have. So much of the detail is not obvious at first as you
will carve a natural path through the world, there are so many numerous ways to
handle situations. If you ever think you are stuck, there are probably 2-4 more
ways to handle it. In fact, we’ve re-visited the concept of where and how a game
can end so some of you will find vastly different endings that don’t all take
place at the same point in the story.
The power of a great RPG to me is that the memory of the time I spent playing
stays with me long after I finished the game. I hope this has the same lasting
effect like the classics have done prior.
If you are loving the game, feel free to shout it to the rooftops. We just
want to keep making RPGs for decades to come and your support in every way helps
make that a reality for us.
If you reading this that means the game has gone live!
Jump in and
experience the world of Wasteland!
