Wasteland 3

Wasteland 3 is a squad-based role-playing video game featuring turn-based combat.[1] Played from an isometric perspective, the game will feature synchronous and asynchronous multiplayer.[2] In the game, players need to make various choices, which would have different impacts on the game's world and the story.[3] The game introduces a vehicle that the players can use to traverse the world and store supplies. The main campaign can be played cooperatively with another player.[4]

Wasteland 3 will be set in the freezing wastelands of a post-apocalyptic Colorado. The player will take control of the last surviving member of Team November, a Ranger Squad.[2]

Wasteland 3 was announced by inXile Entertainment in September 2016. Wasteland 3 is being developed using the Unity game engine. The development team is composed of people who worked on Torment: Tides of Numenera (2017).[5] As with Wasteland 2, inXile chose to crowdfund the development of the game. Unlike their previous Kickstarter projects, inXile chose to use equity crowdfunding service Fig.[6] The crowdfunding campaign launched in October 2016, and concluded a month later with over $3 million raised.[7]

The game was scheduled to launch on Linux, macOS, PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One in Q4 2019.[2][8] After Xbox Game Studios acquired the company, inXile hired more staff for the game's development and delayed its release date to early 2020.[9] The game's budget was three times more than Wasteland 2. The additional budget was mostly spent on implementing conversational scenes and hiring voice actors.[3] It was delayed again due to inXile's remote working conditions.[10]
