Wasteland 2 coming in August

Inxile Entertainment has just confirmed that Wasteland 2, the crowd-funded RPG, is set to be released in August of this year on PC, Mac and Linux. Currently in Early Access on Steam, the game just got updated with new content - the entire Arizona portion of the game just got released.

Inxile's Brain Fargo has been talking up the size and scale of the game, promising a 50+ hour adventure, plus a word count that exceeds that of The Lord of the Rings.

"It's exciting to be in the home stretch on a game I've been wanting to get to for the last two decades. The feedback from our backers on the early beta has been great and I'm proud of the way Wasteland 2 is shaping up. The scope of the game is immense with a word count that is greater than The Lord of the Rings novels and a solid 50 hour+ game experience that has diversity from beginning to end. My goal has been to over deliver on our backer's expectations for Wasteland 2," said Fargo.

The latest screens, including images that show off the character creation options, can be seen below.
