Overview
- The Amnesia Fortnight 2026 Kickstarter is live to fund a game‑jam, backer voting rights and a behind‑the‑scenes documentary, with the campaign seeking roughly $400,000 and already drawing several hundred thousand dollars in pledges.
- Buried in the campaign’s stretch goals is a $100 million target that Double Fine says would let it start Brütal Legend 2, a commitment outlets and the studio treat as an ambitious or rhetorical ask rather than an immediate plan.
- Double Fine regained independence from Microsoft this year and kept ownership of its catalog, which lets the studio legally pursue sequels or remasters for properties such as Brütal Legend without Microsoft’s approval.
- The Kickstarter’s mechanics let backers vote on 26 pitches to select four prototypes and a single winner that will be polished and published under Double Fine Action Labs, while 2 Player Productions will film the process for a documentary.
- The studio trimmed staff during the transition and is publicly seeking publisher or partner funding for any large projects, a step that will determine whether a major sequel is shopped to external funders or remains a long‑term aspiration.
