The response to the recently announced online game Wild West Online was so great that the developers were able to secure the funding for the game without needing to resort to Kickstarter.
After the announcement of the Western MMO, the developers were literally bombarded with emails. The website was visited more than 200,000 times and the feedback was so positive that investors provided additional financial resources for the development of the game. Therefore, a Kickstarter campaign is no longer necessary.
The development of the game is now secure thanks to the secured funds. Consequently, the crowdfunding campaign planned for the end of the month has been canceled.
Kickstarter is no longer necessary
Thanks to the additional financial resources, the team is even able to implement the stretch goals announced for the Kickstarter campaign. Therefore, at the launch of the MMORPG, female characters, additional social activities such as card games, and translations into multiple languages will find their way into the game. The development team announced that they will continue to provide the game with more content and additional features after the release.
“We never expected the support from the community, and thanks to the fans, we are now able to create a robust Western gaming experience for PC,” says Stephan Bugaj, Chief Creative Officer of the development studio 612 Games.
“We were fortunate that our investors provided additional funds so that we could develop the game we wanted to make from the very beginning – and without having to raise more money through crowdfunding. There are far too few Western games on PC, so we are very excited to see how players will react to ours.”

The developers are currently planning to release the title by the end of the year. There should be about 100 players active per server, which is why Wild West Online cannot truly be called an MMO.
