La-Mulana 2 Turns To Kickstarter
Quietly announced last year with a teaser website, the sequel to La-Mulana has turned to Kickstarter for funding.
With a full month left to go, the game has raised just over half of its $200,000 with $105,549.
With the announcement of the game last year, we learned it would star the daughter of the protagonist of the first game. The Kickstarter campaign for the game reveals a few more details:
In La-Mulana 2, you will take on the role of Lumisa Kosugi on a mission to find the entrance to the ruins of Eg-Lana, which is rumored to be the source of recent monster appearances. The ruins themselves are compromised of a variety of areas as well as huge boss creatures known as Guardians. Who knows what lies in wait at the end of Eg-Lana?
A pledge of $12 is enough to get you a copy of the game when it releases, which is expected to be December 2015.

Our Take
La-Mulana seems like a good franchise to take to Kickstarter. It has gained a fair level of notoriety and has received critical acclaim (we scored it 8.5/10), but it's not as popular as the runaway success stories some indie games have had the good fortune to achieve. There are definitely fans who want more and will be happy to monetarily support a follow-up. I would be surprised if this Kickstarter didn't make its goal.
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.
