Wasteland 2 Post-funding Update #67: Director’s Cut Release Date, Info and Screenshots

We already know about the release date for Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut, but it’s still worth noting that inXile has sent a post-funding Kickstarter update to inform backers of it and offer a quick overview of all the new features included in this multi-platform enhanced re-release. The update also includes some new screenshots that showcase the upgraded graphics, and a summary of the recent press coverage for the title.

A snippet on the Director’s Cut feature set:

• Quirks, a new set of gameplay-modifying personality traits and characteristics for your squad.
• Perks, new bonuses you will be able to pick for your characters as they level up.
• Precision Strikes, a combat technique allowing you to you target enemy body parts to inflict debilitating effects and injuries.
• Upgraded to Unity 5, featuring redone environments, lighting, and character models.

And those do not even fully cover all the new additions, like new and expanded voice-over for many of the game’s key NPCs and companions, as well as our extensive rebalancing of virtually every combat encounter, loot drop, and item you’ll find in the game.

We’re now in the home stretch of development. Our final tasks in the several weeks before final release include polishing up the game as much as we can, including tweaks, optimizations, fixes and balance adjustments. We hope you will enjoy the changes and updates as much as we enjoyed bringing them to you.
