Shadow of the Eternals Heads To Kickstarter For Remaining Funds

Shadow of the Eternals Heads To Kickstarter For Remaining Funds

Vincent Parisi 13 May

The internet was set ablaze last week when news of a spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness was announced. The new project, titled Shadow of the Eternals, is everything that fans of the cult classic Gamecube title could hope for. For one thing, the development studio Precursor Games is largely made up of former Silicon Knights employees, the original minds behind the psychological horror game. If that weren’t enough incentive to put faith in the upcoming project, it was later revealed that Shadow of the Eternals is even using art and assets originally developed for an official sequel called Eternal Darkness 2, before the deal fell through.

Getting back to the matter at hand, Precursor Games initially set out to raise $1.5 million through their own independent fundraising campaign. But since it launched a week ago, the team has only managed to secure roughly 10% of the intended goal. With that in mind, many in the industry suggested that taking the project to Kickstarter could produce better results; as the general public and potential backers are more likely to support a campaign through a service they trust, such as Kickstarter, as opposed to a privately hosted campaign. Precursor Games seemingly took those thoughts to heart, and as of this morning, officially launched the Shadow of the Eternals Kickstarter. The intended target they’re looking to reach is $1.35 million, which is roughly the remaining balance off the grand total after factoring in previous pledges from the private campaign.

For those who’ve already donated, the team at Precursor want to show their appreciation in the form of “an exclusive Whateley Expose; a digital collection of materials containing lore, manuscripts and clues.” Additionally, early backers will also be rewarded with an exclusive forum badge.

If funded, Shadow of the Eternals is slated to be released on Wii U and PC sometime next year. To kick off the new campaign with a bang, Precursor Games also revealed a 9-minute gameplay demo of the game in action.  Take a look:

About The Author

Vincent Parisi

I guess I'm the typical, modern day nerd. I was raised right on Batman: TAS and old-school TMNT. I've been a core gamer since I was 2 years old (I was beating Mario before I could finish sentences) and haven't thought twice about it since. My favorite game genre is RPG for sure. I love the advent of channels like Nerdist and Geek and Sundry, and will never turn down an invitation to a Con. (Though I don't cosplay... yet.) I hate not owning the latest and greatest gadgets and aspire to find my place in the world of game journalism. Favorite Games: The Mass Effect trilogy, Super Mario World, the BioShock series, the Ratchet and Clank series, anything featuring Nolan North. Favorite shows: FireFly (Browncoats, unite!), Bones, Castle, Spectacular Spider-Man (RIP), Transformers Prime. Anything featuring the voice talents of Steve Blum, Gina Torres, Ashley Johnson, or Yuri Lowenthal. Favorite Comics: Amazing Spider-Man (Thanks for the memories), most things featuring Batman, any one where Green Arrow makes an appearance.
