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.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
The official Kickstarter campaign is expected to go live next month.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
