Obsidian Entertainment’s Project Eternity Kickstarter has soared to $1.45 million, neatly vaulting its $1.1 million goal despite only launching on September 14. The project, billed as a modern version of computer role-playing games like Baldur’s Gate, Planescape: Torment, and Icewind Dale (all of which current Obsidian employees were involved with), will continue raising funds for assorted stretch goals until its October 16 deadline.
While the game’s combat and setting hearken back to the Dungeons & Dragons-based Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale, Project Eternity will have an original world and rules system. The game is currently only slated for PC, though Mac and Linux versions are both on the table if the Kickstarter reaches $1.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
