XCOM Creator’s Chaos Reborn Kickstarter Surpasses Goal
Launched early last month, XCOM creator Julian Gollop’s Kickstarter project Chaos Reborn, has met and surpassed its goal.
Chaos Reborn is a sequel of sorts to Gollop's classic ZX Spectrum game Chaos: The Battle of Wizards, which you can read about here.
With 6 hours left in its campaign as of this writing, Chaos Reborn has raised $199,363 of its $180,000 goal with 4,871 backers.
In an update following the game's successful funding Gollop posted an update saying, "Chaos Reborn has been funded with just 34 hours to go on the clock. Thank you to everybody who backed the project and promoted it. Thanks to my team for working after hours to make the prototype possible, and providing all the art and publicity material during the campaign. And thanks mum for being such a vocal supporter!"

Our Take
In most other artistic mediums of expression, like music or film making, we hear thank yous directed towards mothers, but not so much in the world of video games. It's probably because mothers and parents try to limit their children's video game time. Happy to hear Gollop giving credit where it's very much due. Also, this is great news for fans of classic strategy games!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
