Double Fine are all in on making Brutal Legend 2, if you're willing to give them $100 million in their game jam Kickstarter, anyway
Covered by 2 sources · 2 articles
Double Fine has announced it will develop Brutal Legend 2 if a Kickstarter campaign for its Amnesia Fortnight 2026 game jam reaches $100 million in funding. The studio's independence from Microsoft - which previously owned the developer - has apparently opened the door to reviving the cult classic action game, something unlikely to have happened under the publisher's watch. Whether the ambitious fundraising goal materializes remains to be seen, but it signals Double Fine's commitment to the project contingent on community backing.
- Double Fine is conditionally green-lighting Brutal Legend 2 through a Kickstarter tied to its Amnesia Fortnight 2026 event, with a $100 million funding target.
- Microsoft's ownership previously made a sequel improbable; the studio's newfound independence has cleared the path for the revival.
- The campaign represents an unconventional approach to funding, placing the sequel's fate directly in players' hands.
