Following Microsoft's announcement from earlier this week that Wasteland 2 is currently in development for Xbox One, developer inXile entertainment has revealed that the post-apocalypitc turn-based RPG will also be coming to PlayStation 4. The game is set to arrive on both consoles in "late summer" of 2015.
For those unfamiliar, Wasteland 2 is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Wasteland and the post-apocalyptic predecessor to the Fallout series. It offers an alternative history in which America lays lifeless in the hot ashes and radioactive embers of a deadly nuclear holocast. In the game, you command an elite squad of desert Rangers who set out to try and help the last remaining survivors against hordes of bandits, criminals, and decaying mutants.
Currently available for PC, Wasteland 2 is one of the most successful crowdfunded games of all-time.
“Ever since Wasteland 2 debuted on PC, we’ve had RPG fans asking us to bring it to console. Thanks to Unity 5 and some extra time, we’re able to overhaul the game with really fantastic visual effects, upgraded environment art, physically based shading, add all new character models, a new Quirks and Perks systems, Precision Strikes (aimed shots) and new voice over work for some of the key characters,”said Brian Fargo of inXile Entertainment. “And if you are backer of Wasteland 2 or have already purchased it on PC, fear not. We will announce great news for you later.”
Does that "great news" suggest that backers or owners of the PC version will get some sort of discount on the console version?
