Today InXile announced that their Kickstarted sequel to 1988’s Wasteland has earned the company $1.5 million in revenue after only four days of being on sale on Steam. Wasteland was a predecessor to the popular Fallout franchise, and when the president of InXile Brian Fargo, a previous employee of Interplay and the original Wasteland’s producer and co-designer, announced the project via Kickstarter, the campaign was extremely successful bringing in over $2 million more than the initial funding goal.
Wasteland 2 is a squad-based post-apocalyptic RPG set in a world where a meteor impact had set off a chain of events that sparked a global nuclear war. Reviews of the game have been very positive, earning a combined score of 80 on Metacritic.
Earlier today InXile had accidentally announced that they had sold 1.5 million copies of the game rather than $1.5 million dollars worth of sales, but were quick to correct the media.
