inXile Entertainment’s Torment: Tides of Numenura raised $1 million in 7 hours and 2 minutes, making it the fastest project to $1 million ever, breaking Ouya’s total of 8 hours and 22 minutes. Only 21 of the 37,000 successfully funded Kickstarter projects have ever reached the $1 million milestone.
“Even though this was our second Kickstarter campaign, we were very cautious in our expectations,” inXile CEO Brian Fargo said. “We knew there were some negative sentiments regarding crowdsourcing fatigue, and the fact that we are still finishing Wasteland 2, but the massive community acceptance to our latest Kickstarter effort was overwhelming, unexpected and a great honor. With great honor, comes great responsibility to our backers that we will deliver Wasteland 2 in October 2013 and then deliver Torment: Tides of Numenera by December 2014.”
