Intrepid Studios is quite excited with the results from their month-long Kickstarter event for Ashes of Creation. With over 19,000 supporters and over $3,200,000 raised (their goal was just $750,000), they are awe-struck with the amount of love and excitement players have for their game.
This is simply stunning. We cannot thank the fans of Ashes of Creation enough for their support. We promise we won’t let you down, and we’re absolutely thrilled to find so many like-minded gamers who want to see the MMORPG genre truly move forward,” said Steven Sharif, CEO and creative director of Intrepid Studios.
Set in a fallen, ever-changing fantasy realms swith ruins, beasts, and cities, Ashes of Creation will have players “rebuild, repopulate and rediscover this uncharted realm.
As one of the most anticipated upcoming MMOs, the results of this one month fundraiser and the amount of support, Ashes of Creation has risen to become the most funded MMO on Kickstarter to date. In fact, so many people wanted to share their interest in the game that Sharif released this statement:
Because of the high amount of members that requested alternate payment methods that Kickstarter did not offer, I have decided that during the month of June I will extend our crowdsourcing through our website for those of you who were unable to purchase packages through Kickstarter. All backers from Kickstarter will benefit from this additional month of funding with some pretty awesome backer goals and rewards, which we will be releasing today. We will have the ability for Kickstarter pledges to be upgraded as well.
The statement also confirms the biggest question of all: when are they releasing this game? It is not yet certain what Intrepid Studios will do with the extra funds, but they did mention some big announcements in the coming weeks. To stay updated go to their website for day-to-day information.
