Etter den enorme Kickstarter-suksessen med Wasteland 2 og Torment: Tides of Numenera har InXile fått blod på tann, og studioet forteller nå at The Bard's Tale IV er neste spill ut til å bli finansiert på denne måten. Studioets sjef, Brian Fargo, sier til Gamereactor:
"As part of this campaign, so we're being clear, we're putting our own money into it too. So we're asking for $1.25 million, but we're saying right up front that we're going to put a minimum of that much of our own money on top of that to make sure the quality is as high as possible."
Kickstarter-kampanjen for The Bard's Tale IV starter 2. juni, noe som også er 30-årsjubileet til det første spillet i serien. Unreal Engine 4 står for grafikken denne gangen, og det ser ikke ut til at konsollene skal få være med på leken:
"We're not thinking about [Bard's Tale on console]. I mean we're using Unreal and as I get further into development and somebody says 'you know, Brian, the footprint size you're using you can get it over to console with no degradation of quality for not too much money' then that's we're going to do. If it's something that's going to affect us negatively then we wouldn't. Bard's Tale lends itself more to console, because it looks more like a console game."
