‘Wasteland 3’ news: inXile Entertainment releases new gameplay trailer; Fig crowdfunding campaign also launched

More news have surfaced on the upcoming post-apocalyptic sequel "Wasteland 3," as inXile Entertainment released a campaign pitch and trailer to showcase the gameplay. The game development is also in progress thanks to a crowdfunding campaign called Fig.

Eurogamer was able to cover more on the details on the upcoming turn-based tactical roleplaying game. The gameplay trailer shows the frozen setting of Colorado, an improved visual performance overhaul from the second "Wasteland" game, and an up-close camera perspective during conversations with NPCs.

As with many other games, "Wasteland 3" utilizes the updated Unity engine that was used on one of inXile Entertainment's other RPG, "Torment: Tides of Numenera." The post-apocalyptic game features riding vehicles, weapons, team play, and a multiplayer mode.

The game studio aims for $2.75 million from crowdfunding at Fig, with $2.25m coming from equity. Fig also sets itself apart Kickstarter as it lets backers actually invest in games.

A $5 discount on rewards backing will be granted to returning backers of all inXile projects, whereas all who to get to back within the first two games can acquire a free game. The free game given would either be the horror adventure "Stasis," or another turn-based post-apocalyptic RPG called "UnderRail."

"Wasteland 3's" features have also been broken down from the game's Fig page, here are some of them:

•  A party-based role-playing game, with a renewed focus on our trademark complex story reactivity and strategic combat.
• By including vehicles, environmental dangers, and a revamped, more fluid action system, we are evolving on Wasteland 2's deep tactical turn-based combat and unique encounter design.
• Play by yourself or with a friend in story-driven synchronous or asynchronous multiplayer. Choices open up (or close off) mission opportunities, areas to explore, story arcs, and lots of other content.
• Your Ranger Base is a core part of the experience. As you help the local people and establish a reputation in Colorado, quests and narrative will force you to make decisions on how to lead.
• The game will be set in the savage lands of frozen Colorado, where survival is difficult and a happy outcome is never guaranteed. Players will face difficult moral choices and make sacrifices that will change the game world.
• Wasteland 3 will feature a deep and engaging story utilizing a newly-revamped dialog tree system from the celebrated writers of Torment: Tides of Numenera.

"Wasteland 3" is currently in development and will have a Q4 2019 release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
