<p>InXile Entertainment is no stranger to crowdfunding. Their campaign for <em>Wasteland 2</em> was a high water mark for Kickstarter when it raised <a href="http://ift.tt/SXHDeQ">nearly $3 million in 2012</a>. Now the team is back with the first in-engine trailer for <em>Wasteland 3</em>, a direct sequel for the party-based, isometric role-playing series that inspired the original <i>Fallout</i>. And this time they’re offering equity in the project.</p>
<p>InXile has partnered with the <a href="https://www.fig.co/">Fig crowdfunding platform</a> to raise $2.75 million, with up to $2.25 million of that total available as equity investment. Studio head Brian Fargo told Polygon that the game, which is slated for a 2019 release, will be a massive upgrade to <em>Wasteland 2</em>. Features include asynchronous and synchronous multiplayer, a rugged frozen environment with storms that can turn the tide of battle, and a cinematic camera that zooms in on the action, just like <em>XCOM 2</em>. You can read more on that interview <a href="http://ift.tt/2dkXq2w">here</a>.</p>
<p>Fig just recently <a href="http://ift.tt/2cOfnJH">cleared its final round of revisions</a> with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. That makes it the first crowdfunding platform available that can accept both accredited (high net-worth) and non-accredited investment. We’ve been following them for over a year, and you can find the complete StoryStream <a href="http://ift.tt/1LsNDoF">here</a>.</p>
<p>InXile tells us the game will launch simultaneously on Mac, Windows PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2019.</p>
