InXile Entertainment has released the Wasteland 2 Director’s Cut today, and along with its improved graphics, extra character development options and additional voicework, the best news is that it’s free for all owners of the original game.
It’s a pretty extensive reworking of the post-apocalyptic RPG, which we thought was a fun, if slightly rough and overlong journey. It’s extensive enough that your old save games will no longer work with this new version, which has to be downloaded as a standalone title in your Steam library or from your GOG.com account. Digital versions from other retailers will roll out soon.
As well as updating the game to the Unity 5 engine, the new version adds perks and quirks (the latter offer a positive benefit alongside a potential negative) for making your band of Desert Rangers feel more unique, a VATS-style targeting system for blowing peoples’ appendages off, and lots of extra quest and ambient dialogue. Check out some of the new content in the trailer below.
