Red Ash: The Indelible Legend Returns To Crowdfunding

Mega Man Legends successor: Red Ash: The Indelible Legend

Red Ash: The Indelible Legend has returned to crowdfunding after its original Kickstarter campaign to ask for more money from backers. Red Ash: Magicicada was set to be an anime companion to the game, and now Studio 4ºC says it needs an additional $127,000 for the 30-minute film. If its stretch goal of $2.48 million is reached, the studio promises a feature-length 90-minute film.

For those out of the loop, Red Ash: The Indelible Legend first hit Kickstarter a month ago with a goal of $800,000. The game was promised as a spiritual successor to Mega Man Legends. Kieji Inafune’s company, Comcept, had achieved success with Kickstarter for its previous Mega Man-like project, Mighty No. 9, so it made sense that they would return there for their next game. But Red Ash: The Indelible Legend failed to see the same success as its predecessor. After it looked like the original Kickstarter campaign would fail, Comcept managed to acquire funding from Chinese publisher Fuze. The Kickstarter failed, but they had the funding anyway.

Promised along with the original Kickstarter project was an anime film to accompany the game. The film actually did reach its goal, which was for $150,000. Thanks to that success, the film’s production has been confirmed. However, Studio 4ºC is now saying they need more money from backers. There’s a new page on their website that contains a confusing breakdown of all of their new goals. The page contains a disclaimer, stating that the film will be made regardless of the outcome of this latest campaign, which makes it a little confusing as to why they need an additional $127,000 to make a 30-minute film.

Many blame the failure of Red Ash: The Indelible Legend’s Kickstarter campaign on the fact that Inafune launched it before the release of Mighty No. 9. Mighty No. 9 originally came with an April 2015 release date, but has been delayed multiple times to its current early 2016 release date.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
