GG Brief Editorial Desk · AI-assisted, source attributed

Double Fine has launched a Kickstarter campaign seeking $100 million (about £74 million) to finance Brutal Legend 2. The studio says it will develop the sequel only if the campaign reaches that goal. The new pitch comes almost two decades after the original heavy‑metal‑themed open‑world Brutal Legend, making the crowdfunding target a decisive — and unusually large — hurdle for the project.

• Double Fine’s Kickstarter sets a $100,000,000 (≈£74,000,000) funding goal specifically for Brutal Legend 2.
• The studio has stated it will proceed with development only if the Kickstarter reaches that $100m target.
• The sequel would follow the original heavy‑metal‑infused open‑world Brutal Legend released almost two decades earlier.
• A $100m crowdfunding goal is far larger than typical game campaigns, creating a high barrier to funding and production.
