Campaign Launched by Brad McQuaid’s Visionary Realms Games Studio.

Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is crowdfunding on Kickstarter today and they have set a goal of raising $800,000 by February 22nd.  The much anticipated game and launch was leaked last week and expectations are high for an incredibly successful crowdfunding campaign.  The project quickly jumped out of the gate besting $50,000 in 20 hours.  Over $85,000 has been contributed as of today.  The confident campaign has already released their stretch goals only several days into the campaign with the final stretch set at $6.7 million. The gaming category on Kickstarter is the platforms most successful having raised over $180 million since the rewards based platform was launched.

The strategic move to use Kickstarter is to first prove there exists sufficient demand for a group focused game like Pantheon. The organizers have stated if they can get to the goal they will have enough to get the game started and be able to get their studio set up and operational.
