Back in September Harebrained Schemes launched a Kickstarter to crowdfund a new Battletech game. The goal was $250,000 but it soon far outstripped that and now the campaign has hit $2.5 million, reaching the last stretch goal of PvP multiplayer.
Any further raised funds will go towards improving the game now instead of adding new features, but there are plans to expand upon the game after it has been launched properly. "After that, any additional funds will go toward funding a Post-Launch Live Team that will continue developing additional features and content. First among them will be Cooperative Multiplayer, which will allow you and a friend to face-off against AI opponents."
Battletech is a turn-based tactical game, with a full single player campaign mode and will also feature open-ended "mercenary" missions that will allow players to play on with accepting procedurally-generated contracts.
The Kickstarter will wrap at 3 pm ET on November 3.
