Set 15 years after Wasteland, in 2012, the sequel starts in Arizona, as the Rangers bury one of their own in the hot sands of the Ranger Citadel. A Director’s Cut followed a year later, bringing with it enhanced graphics, modified UI, voice acting for most characters and revamped level design and combat system, on top of dozens of other changes.
It finally released in September 2014, as a digital download and a physical edition for Kickstarter backers. While tentatively scheduled for a release in late 2013, Wasteland 2 was delayed by a full year to allow for additional polish and beta testing. Key among this was the involvement of the community, providing feedback on the game’s direction, design, and even assets for the game’s production. As one of the first crowdfunded projects of this scale, Wasteland 2 broke new ground. The goal was met in under 43 hours and became one of the most successful projects of the early years of crowdfunding, culminating in a grand total of over $3 million dollars (Kickstarter and PayPal together). Fargo committed to covering $100,000 out of his own pocket to bring the minimum budget to a tidy one million.
It followed the example set by Double Fine’s highly successful Kickstarter that eventually gave us Broken Age, with a funding threshold budget of $900,000.
While he expressed interest in developing a sequel as early as 2007, it wasn’t until 2012 that inXile, his development studio, announced it publicly. While Electronic Arts used to own the trademark, it let the rights lapse and Brian Fargo ultimately had to purchase them from Konami in 2003, which trademarked the name in connection with its own Yu-Gi-Oh! titles.
