The Bard's Tale IV Kickstarter

The promised and incentivized Kickstarter campaign is now underway for The Bard's Tale IV, as inXile Entertainment seeks a cool one-and-a-quarter-million dollars to develop a new installment in the RPG series. Their planned delivery date is October 2017, but they add that this is an estimate: "Our initial estimate is based on a $2.5 million budget game and we will openly communicate on changes to the release date as our project progresses." Here's a Kickstarter video along with word on what they plan to create with the money:

From the creators of Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera comes The Bard’s Tale IV. Thirty years ago, The Bard’s Tale put Brian Fargo and Interplay on the map and launched a storied career crafting some of the most beloved cRPGs in gaming history.

Today, we return to Skara Brae for the long-awaited dungeon-crawling sequel to the Bard’s Tale trilogy -- the games that helped define the genre.

WHAT IS THE BARD'S TALE?

  • A single-player, party-based dungeon crawl, rich in exploration and combat
  • Dungeons filled not just with dangerous fights but with challenging puzzles and devious riddles
  • Dynamic phase-based combat, where the pace of battle is animated and fluid, but still gives you time to think and respond to your enemies
  • A game set to beautiful Gaelic music, where the Bard’s songs and melodies affect gameplay
  • Co-funded by fans and inXile: if this game hits its $1.25 million goal, inXile will put in at least $1.25 million of its own money to double the initial budget!
  • Built using Unreal Engine 4, for PC, Mac and Linux. Available from Steam or DRM-Free from GOG.com
  • Available in English, French, German, Russian, Spanish, and Polish
  • Built for and with the help of our fans. Your feedback and input directly impact the design and features of the game during alpha and beta stages
