- inXile 20th Anniversary Documentary - 7 November 2022
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. But it’s the challenges that made us who we are, and we’re sharing never before heard stories about our history, our games (including some that were never released), and how becoming an Xbox Game Studio has changed our trajectory forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzAna_ovGfQ As you’ll learn in the documentary, it’s really our fans and those that helped support us directly through crowdfunding that kept the studio going, and we’d like to once again thank anyone who backed a game, told a friend about us, or even just liked a post promoting a backer campaign. Even those small interactions absolutely made a difference in our lives, and we survived as a studio on the support of people who like to play the kinds of games we li…

- The best RPGs on PC in 2019 - 11 October 2019
Look! A ranking of the 50 best RPGs on PC. I know, you never asked for this, but here it is. It is 100 percent correct, we double-checked. The RPG is a broad and deep sea and fishing out the best games from its characterful waters is no easy task. But we are capable fishers on the good ship RPS, and know when to humanely throw back a tiddler or fight to heave up a monster. Enough of this salty metaphor. Here are the 50 best RPGs you can play on PC today. (more…)

- InXile acquired by Microsoft: the interview - 19 November 2018
On Saturday 10th November, Microsoft announced buying Californian role-playing game developers inXile Entertainment and Obsidian Entertainment . Two studios independent which had fought for survival for a decade-and-a-half were now under the Xbox umbrella. The message from Microsoft was reassurance: don't worry, nothing will change, we won't kill them - they'll continue to make the games you love, only they'll have more resources and support available to "fully realise" their ambitions. Nevertheless, questions remained. Both companies are tied up in crowdfunding - particularly inXile, which has Wasteland 3 still to deliver - so what happens there? And what happens to promised PlayStation 4 versions of games - can they still fulfil those as Xbox studios? Moreover, will they leave isometric games behind in favour of glitzier projects? For this interview, I'm concentrating on inXile, speak…
- Oh my RPG, Microsoft is buying Obsidian Entertainment and inXile - 10 November 2018
The rumours were true: Microsoft Studios is buying Obsidian Entertainment . It's also, in an unexpected twist, buying inXile Entertainment. The acquisitions were announced during the X018 fan event in Mexico today. In a statement sent to Eurogamer, Microsoft said of Obsidian: "As one of the industry's premiere RPG developers, we couldn't be more excited about the opportunity to add their expertise to Microsoft Studios, while enabling the studio to preserve its unique culture and build on its talent and vision to fully realise their creative ambitions."

- PlayStation Now gets The Elder Scrolls Online, Sniper Elite 4 and more - 6 October 2018
Hot on the heels of the addition of game downloads to previously stream-only subscription service PlayStation Now , Sony has announced a raft of new games now live on the service.

- The Humble Unity Bundle contains some great stories, and the tools to tell your own - 5 September 2018
While it still bears some reputation as a scrappy little browser-game toolset (and that’s no bad thing – it enabled much of the GMTK 2018 jam recently ), ubiquitous game development platform Unity has spread to all corners. While I don’t have a single creative bone in my body, the Humble Unity Bundle contains a pile of Unity tools and assets to build your dream game. Even if you’re not the creative type, there’s some good Unity-based games in here too, including ninja sneak ’em up Shadow Tactics , teen horror adventure Oxenfree and moody tearjerker The Last Day Of June . (more…)
- Get Shadow Tactics, Torment, Oxenfree and more in the Humble Unity Bundle - 4 September 2018
The Humble Unity Bundle , featuring games built with the Unity game engine, is maybe not the most excitingly-named Humble Bundle of all time, but it's definitely one of the better packages to come along in a very long time. For $1, you'll get Oxenfree and Aer: Memories of Old, plus Inventory Pro, UFPS: Ultimate FPS, and FlowCanvas, which are not actually games but asset packs from the Unity Asset Store.  Things start to get interesting when you beat the average price, which is already over $10. That'll get you Wasteland 2 Director's Cut, The Final Station, Last Day of June, and three more Unity asset packs: Realistic Effects Pack 4, Ultimate Game Music Collection, and GameFlow.  At the top tier of $15 (and given how quickly the average price has climbed, you might as well just go right to the top) you'll also get Torment: Tides of Numenera, Shadow Tact…
- Clear 100 hours in your calendar, cos CRPGs are here to stay - 26 June 2018
In the mid-to-late 2000s, publishers abandoned the CRPG genre an acronym describing the very specific genre of video games adapted from tabletop RPGs to be played on computers which a decade earlier had been a cornerstone of PC gaming. They were more interested in accessible, console-friendly series like Mass Effect and The Elder Scrolls , and PC-centric RPGs all but died out. Then, around 2012, RPGs made a comeback, largely thanks to the rise of crowdfunding and an endless well of nostalgia. Since then we ve been treated to heaps of good ones Divinity: Original Sin , Pillars of Eternity , Wasteland 2 , Torment: Tides of Numenera and there are plenty more in the works. But there s no guarantee that CRPGs are back for good. Some, such as Torment, haven t sold well. The future of crowdfunding remains uncertain. And asking fans to commit 50 hours to a single story is more difficult than ev…
- Wasteland 30th Anniversary Bundle - 11 June 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F5382940%2F3370a1ff60e405d7cc18fa2a1745091d0b2dd0eb.jpg inXile Entertainment is proud to announce the Wasteland 30th Anniversary Bundle, a celebration of the video game series which launched the post-apocalyptic genre in video gaming and inspired successors such as the Fallout series. The bundle includes items from across the history of the series, along with two new items - a musical track by Mark Morgan, which represents the first publicly available new content from 2019’s Wasteland 3, and a currently in pre-production 30th anniversary remaster of the original Wasteland by Krome Studios (currently partnered with inXile on a similar remaster of The Bard’s Tale Trilogy). Items in the Wasteland 30th Anniversary Edition Bundle include: Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic Wasteland - 30th Anniversary Edition remaster (due early…
- The new Humble Bundle features vintage RPGs Torment, Wasteland, Shadowrun, and Dreamfall - 20 February 2018

- The RPG Scrollbars: Quests Done Quick II - 3 July 2017
It’s Summer Games Done Quick time again! You know what that means. The final seal has been broken, the rivers are turning to blood, and High Dread Azagorath is free to destroy the land. But while people wait, they’re doing speed-runs. And in celebration of that, I thought I’d take a dig through the archives for a few particularly impressive and interesting ones that take that whole idea of a fifty hour epic and beat it down so quickly, the hero’s hometown doesn’t even have time to finish smouldering. …
- Special Offer for Wasteland 2 Owners - 14 April 2017
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.

- The Canyon of Titan was Wasteland 2 at its best - 2 November 2016
Wasteland 2's M.A.D. Monks worship nukes, and Titan is their god. Wasteland 2 was a post-apocalyptic game with a wasteland that truly felt like one. A lot of it was empty. A lot of it was irradiated. The Canyon of Titan was one of its most heavily irradiated locations, surrounded by so many bright yellow warnings they looked like badges on a punk's jacket, but it was also one of the least empty. It buzzed with life and gamma rays. With Wasteland 3 on the way, there's no better slice of Wasteland 2 for inXile to use as a model for its new snowy post-apocalypse. Titan's heavy radiation ensures you can't stumble into the Canyon at the start of the game. You need to get some wandering under your belt first, and also find a set of high-quality radiation suits for your squad of Desert Rangers. To get those you'll need to have followed a string of quests repair a radio tower and investigate th…
- Snowy Wasteland 3 Launches Crowdfunding On Fig - 5 October 2016
We already knew Wasteland 3 was coming out and that it was set in the frozen hinterlands of Colorado, because we have an incredible repository of knowledge and wisdom. But we didn t know exactly what would be waiting for us there. A short trailer accompanied the game s crowdfunding launch on Fig today and it reveals what we should have guessed all along. The only thing waiting for us in the frozen north is death by a cannibal s axe. But there are some other details. Come see. …
- Plane To See: The World Of Torment: Tides Of Numenera - 5 October 2016
I ain’t looked too close at Torment: Tides of Nutella , even despite having its alpha installed on my PC, because if I’m gonna do this thing, I want to do it cold and I want to do it complete. But lately I realised that I knew barely a thing about inXile’s spiritual sequel to revered-by-the-sort-of-people-who-revere-cRPGs cRPG Planescape: Torment, and had nothing more than a loose expectation of similarity. Turns out this latest video was something of a solution for me: it focuses on describing and showing off Numenera’s strange new world and weird technologies, as opposed to dwelling specifically on the player’s journey through it. …
