Wasteland creator Brian Fargo has decided to make every gamer’s greatest wish come true – almost 25 years on, he’s finally going to do a sequel.
“Pondering bringing Wasteland back through this crowdfunding,” he posted on Twitter a couple of days back. “It’s a world I have longed to work with again.”
By “crowdfunding”, of course, he means Kickstarter – the same scheme that’s put almost $2 million behind Double Fine’s next project. In an interview with IGN, Fargo says his studio, inXile Entertainment, would need about $1 million to make the game happen.
The sequel would be “100% faithful to its roots,” he promised, which would mean a Wasteland game that would be “top-down, probably isometric, party based, skill based — where if you’d just finished playing Wasteland and moved onto this you’d feel comfortable.”
The official Kickstarter campaign is expected to go live next month.
Of course, some gamers might point out that the first Fallout game is basically the Wasteland sequel, but it’s not the same, man. It’s not the same.
