| inXile 20th Anniversary Documentary | 2022-11-07 | We’re celebrating inXile’s 20th year as a game studio with a look back through our history; where we came from, obstacles along the way, and our studio’s future.

| Special Offer for Wasteland 2 Owners | 2017-04-14 | 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, wit |

| Free Weekend + About Trying the Director's Cut | 2016-06-11 | 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 se |
| IT'S HERE!!! Director's Cut Out on Steam | 2015-10-13 | Hello Exiles!

Today marks the end to another leg of our game development journey through the world of Wasteland, a |
| Director's Cut Launches at Midnight PDT; A Look at Wasteland's Inspirations | 2015-10-12 | 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 exper |
| Wasteland Playing Cards, New Director's Cut Screenshots | 2015-07-03 | Hey Exiles, We wanted to get an update out to you all before the 4th of July holiday weekend, and have a few things we thought we'd share with you. First, in case you missed it - in our last update, we announced that we're renaming our upcoming version of Wasteland 2 for PC and consoles as Wasteland 2 Director's Cut. It is still coming free to all owners on PC in late summer this year! Be sure to check out this little trailer we put together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNbEYHzheP0 Limited Edition Wasteland Playing Cards – Now on Kickstarter!

| Wasteland 2 Director's Cut Trailer, Name Change | 2015-06-23 | Hello Exiles, Today we are thrilled to share with you a brand-new trailer for Wasteland 2 Director's Cut. Click below to check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNbEYHzheP0 You may have noticed that the name of the game has been changed, and some of you might also notice that we were previously using the name Game of the Year Edition. Why the change? We feel that this new title more accurately reflects the contents of the update. Rather than just being a repackaging of the same old content, the Director's Cut name indicates the sheer scope of the changes involved. With many all-new features that you have requested, overhauled graphics, |
| The Bard's Tale IV Kickstarter launched! | 2015-06-02 | Greetings Exiles, We released Wasteland 2 on Steam in 2014, but the game's story is much longer than that, with Brian Fargo working to make a sequel to 1988's Wasteland for over 20 years before then. In 2012, our fans showed their support on Kickstarter and pledged to help us bring back old-school PC role-playing games, making the game the product of deep community involvement right from the start. Whether you backed us on Kickstarter, bought the game on Steam Early Access, or at launch, or even during a sale later on, Wasteland 2 would not be possible without your help and the power of the community. Now, the same team that brought you Waste |

| Game of the Year Edition Coming Free to All Owners | 2015-05-07 | Greetings, Exiles, A big announcement for all of you who have supported us from the start, but before we jump into that we wanted to let you know we are in the final stretches of preparing our Kickstarter for our next big game, The Bard’s Tale IV. If you loved Wasteland 2, nothing speaks more to that than continuing to support our independence in making these types of games, and we’d love to have you back! You can sign up to get an alert when we launch the Bard’s Tale campaign over on our official website. And now on to our big news… You may have caught word of our plans to release Wasteland 2 Game of the Year Edition on PC platforms, as well |

We've introduced Steam Achievements for Mac OS X and Linux players, for one! Additionally, we've corrected a couple of critical quest bugs, plus an absolutely massive number of smaller issues with in-game object details, cleaned up behavior when the player does unexpected stuff (like poking new air-holes in an NPC's head with an SMG right after accepting their quest to track down that family heirloom), and have updated the game's text in both English and other languages. This one is in the running for being our biggest Wasteland 2 patch so far - and certainly of the n |
