Were celebrating inXiles 20th year as a game studio with a look back through our history; where we came from, obstacles along the way, and our studios future. But its the challenges that made us who we are, and were sharing never before heard stories about our history, our games (including some that were never released), and how becoming an Xbox Game Studio has changed our trajectory forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzAna_ovGfQ As youll learn in the documentary, its really our fans and those that helped support us directly through crowdfunding that kept the studio going, and wed like to once again thank anyone who backed a game, told a friend about us, or even just liked a post promoting a backer campaign. Even those small interactions absolutely made a difference in our lives, and we survived as a studio on the support of people who like to play the kinds of games we like making. We hope you enjoy this look back at the last 20 years and continue to join us in our game worlds as we look toward the next 20. We cant wait to show you more. inXile entertainment

Hello everyone, When we came to Kickstarter to make Wasteland 2 back in 2012, our backers provided us a unique opportunity to bring about the return of classic-style RPGs. In addition to backers, those of you who directly purchased the game here on Steam contributed enormously to creating and supporting our making more RPGs. We want to extend thanks to not just backers, but our Steam audience and fan community as well. Wasteland 2 isn't the only game we've crowdfunded and released. Our second title, Torment: Tides of Numenera, was Kickstarted in 2013, and was released earlier this year. We have been absolutely thrilled with the reception, with a great Metacritic score and tons of positive comments from RPG fans who have enjoyed this deep, story-driven experience.
As a thanks to all of our community members who have supported our games, were offering all Wasteland 2 owners an exclusive 25% off coupon towards Torment: Tides of Numenera! If you don't yet own Torment, now is a great time to check it out. If you do own it, you can trade the coupon to a friend if you prefer! To find your coupon, just check your Steam Inventory by checking under your user profile!

Torment will only continue to get better. In addition to patches, well also be adding a new companion, Oom, an in-game encyclopedia in the form of the Voluminous Codex, and other tweaks and enhancements, in a future content update. This content will be free to all owners of the game. Thank you once again for playing Wasteland 2 and supporting classic-style RPGs. We hope we can keep bringing you more awesome experiences in the years to come!

Hi everyone, We're super happy many of you are checking out Wasteland 2 for this free weekend! Several of you have raised our attention to the fact that the free weekend is not launching the Director's Cut version of the game, only the original Wasteland 2. It was our intent to launch the Director's Cut for free over the weekend, and as soon as the issue came to our attention we contacted our friends at Valve to figure out why players were unable to try out the Director's Cut version. When you buy Wasteland 2 on Steam, you get both access to the original version of the game and the upgraded and expanded Director's Cut for free. This unique setup is great for anyone who owns Wasteland 2 on Steam, as it means they get both games. However, due to the way this interacts with the Steam backend setup for free weekends, only the original Wasteland 2 is freely accessible when you click the "Play" button and are prompted to install the game. We contacted Valve immediately about this issue and began talking with them to find a solution. However, the community went one above and found a way which we also started checking out for ourselves. After some further discussion with Valve, we got their OK to go ahead recommending this work-around which should let you play the Director's Cut during the free weekend: 1. Use this URL: steam://install/404730 2. If that does not work, you can go to this web page and click the "Free" button in the top-right corner: https://steamdb.info/app/404730/ We are sorry for the inconvenience and confusion this caused over the last couple of days, but hopefully this should let everyone get a shot at trying out the full Director's Cut for the rest of the weekend. It goes without saying that should you choose to purchase the game, you'll also of course get the original Wasteland 2 as well as the Director's Cut, including all its expanded features and improvements. Thanks for your understanding, and we appreciate you showing your support by checking out Wasteland 2!

Play Wasteland 2: Director's Cut for FREE starting now through Sunday at 1PM Pacific Time. You can also pickup Wasteland 2: Director's Cut at 50% off the regular price!*

If you already have Steam installed, click here to install or play Wasteland 2: Director's Cut. If you don't have Steam, you can download it here.

Hello Exiles, Brian here for a final update before the Director's Cut of Wasteland 2 lands. This moment has been a long time in the making, and now the ultimate version of Wasteland 2 will very soon be on its way to you, our backers, fans and supporters who made this all possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcA9_fKZsG0 Bringing Wasteland 2 to life has been an incredible adventure and one that was 25 years in the making. But not everyone may know the history behind Wasteland and the influences that came before it to make it what it is. The post-apocalyptic genre is one which has stuck with me from a very early age. One of my initial experiences with it was The Omega Man, a sci-fi film from 1971, though many of you today might know that story best as I Am Legend. Despite the age of the original book, the themes around it – the destruction of civilization and near-extinction of mankind, that story of survival in a harsh world by a solitary few – are timeless and universal. The original book was turned into a movie three times, including 1964's the Last Man on Earth, as well as a series of comics and a radio play, showing how much a strong idea can reappear over the years in different formats. I'm sure you can recognize much of that in Wasteland 2. While The Omega Man was one of my first exposures to the post-apocalyptic genre, it wasn't my last. Mad Max, the 1979 film by George Miller and starring Mel Gibson had a profound influence on me, combining those post-apocalyptic, sci-fi storylines with a gritty aesthetic and harsh world full of leather, guns, cannibal tribes and fast cars. The famous minimalist world-building of Mad Max makes it an incredibly iconic setting and it's one that countless creators have been shaped by. And once again, the recent Mad Max: Fury Road movie shows that a strong creative vision can be maintained over decades of time. When it came time to create Wasteland 1 in 1988, it was a culmination of all my influences in the post-apocalyptic genre. The game took those themes of man-made devastation at the hands of the world's superpowers, and combined them with the deserts, guns and tribes of Mad Max, all set in the post-nuclear Arizona wastes. The game was also steeped in 80s culture and imagery, and many of those dark sci-fi images which came out at the time made it into Wasteland 1, in the form of the game's robots and its punk rock style. The rest is history (and if you want to own a piece of that history, we're still offering limited edition signed art prints of the original Wasteland 1 cover). Wasteland 1 was a huge success, but when exploring the idea of a sequel, Interplay and I no longer had the rights to the game. Instead, we built Fallout, which had some of its own spin on the post-nuclear genre with its unique 1950s theme – inspired by the look and vision of the future seen in the Golden Era of science fiction. We still made sure to carry over plenty from Wasteland into Fallout – Shadowclaws became Deathclaws, the Guardians of the Old Order became the Brotherhood of Steel… but Power Armor? Power Armor is always Power Armor. When I returned to Wasteland 2 on Kickstarter back in 2012 – has it been that long? – I wanted to bring back the same universe as the original game, pushing the 80s angle even more. And much like Fallout's references to Wasteland, so too are there many references to other works in the post-apoc and sci-fi genres which inspired the game. The Interceptor, the famous car from Mad Max, makes an appearance in Rail Nomads Camp, and the game's villain, Matthias, is a nod to Jonathan Matthias from The Omega Man. The game is also littered with smaller details, such as characters and in-game books hinting at A Canticle for Leibowitz, or a reference to my favorite post-apocalyptic book of all time, Swan Song, with an appearance by none other than Sister Creep. The post-apocalyptic genre is like no other out there, because it shows us the darker side of humanity, and what can happen when our normal societal rules break down. While traditional sci-fi often gave us an idealized view of the future and of humanity, it's post-apoc which has fascinated me because of just how plausible it is. That idea of waking up one day with the society you know suddenly gone is one which strikes a chord in everyone, and creates a great basis for interesting ideas and adventures. And of course, with Wasteland 2, we made history once again, helping to prove that crowdfunding is a viable way to make games, and that those hardcore CRPGs are most definitely not dead! We're launching on Steam at midnight Pacific time tonight. If you want to help us get the word out there, we set up a Thunderclap campaign to help spread the call far and wide. Every bit of support we get helps. We hope that you can come back to Wasteland 2 and enjoy it even more than the original. Whether you are a new player just getting into the game for the first time, or a rugged vet who's been here since the beginning, the Director's Cut is our gift to you, and our own newest contribution to the post-apocalyptic genre. Let's keep the flame burning! Thank you, Brian Fargo Leader in Exile
