On the 13th March 2012, the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter project commenced and by its end (17th April 2012) 61,290 backers had raised $2,933,252 towards the project (probably unheard of with gaming Kickstarters nowadays, but this was back during the "Golden Age"). It wasn't until they finally secured the rights to Wasteland again that they decided to go to Kickstarter to raise funds for a sequel. Meanwhile, inXile Entertainment had developed a few console and mobile games during the 2000s including 2004's The Bard's Tale. Over the next few years, most of Interplay's studios and IP were sold off and they were eventually taken to bankruptcy court in 2006, resulting in the Fallout IP being sold to Bethesda in 2007. Brian Fargo eventually left Interplay to form his own studio called inXile Entertainment. French software publisher Titus invested in Interplay and by 2001 owned a majority stake in the company. Along with Wasteland, Interplay also released the The Bard's Tale trilogy in the late 80s, the retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout in 1997 and the Dungeons & Dragons RPG Baldur's Gate in 1998.ĭespite releasing critically acclaimed games, Interplay was in a dire financial situation by 1998 and the company went public to raise funds. The game was a commercial and critical success and received many favourable reviews even being awarded an Adventure Game of the Year Award by gaming publication Computer Gaming World. You lead a team of Desert Rangers, the last remnants of the United States Army stationed in the Southwestern United States, in an attempt to keep law and order amongst the remnants of human civilization. Developed by Interplay and published by Electronic Arts, Wasteland is an RPG set in America after a nuclear war in 1998 has left the planet a post-apocalyptic, um… wasteland. What is itThe original Wasteland was released quite some time back… 1988 to be precise, so fans have been waiting 26 years for a sequel. In Wasteland 2 combat is resolved using good ol' turn-based tactics
