inXile Entertainment has announced that it is currently working on a remaster of the first Wasteland game. Unfortunately all there is right now for this remaster, meaning that we don’t know what things inXile will improve, and whether this will be a simple remaster than those Nightdive has released for some old classic games or something a bit more than that.
We are in fact working on a remaster of the original Wasteland.

The first Wasteland was released 1988 and was a science fiction open world role-playing game. Its mechanics were based on those used in the tabletop role-playing games and the characters had various statistics (strength, intelligence, luck, speed, agility, dexterity, and charisma) that allowed them to use different skills and weapons.
Basically, it was structured like most Western RPG games that followed and it was one of the first games featuring a persistent world. Moreover, in Wasteland the NPCs at times could refuse to follow the player’s commands, something that we haven’t seen in a lot of RPGs.
As said, apart from the reveal that inXile is working on the remaster there is nothing additional to add at this point but we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Thanks PCGamer
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

Oh hell yes, this is awesome. Between this, Wasteland 3, and the new Obsidian game being developed by the Fallout and Arcanum lead developers working together on an RPG. We’ve got some great stuff coming next year or 2020. Can’t wait.
Wasteland was one of my favorite games growing up, and I hope this remaster ends up being solid.
Embarrassment of riches indeed.
i thought they remastered it when new plastic toys came out?
Still won’t get Windows 10 for this, and you know MS is going to lock it to Win10.
I hope it’s as good as the remaster of The Bard’s Tale Trilogy.
This was announced back on June 11th.
It’ll be like The Bard’s Tale Trilogy remaster.
It seems like John is suffering from amnesia.
who cares? it was a crappy game.
oops thought this was about he crappy reboot. original was a decent game.
