InXile Entertainment is working on Wasteland 3, but in the meantime they bring us a remaster of the first installment, which arrived more than 30 years ago on PC. This role-playing game and strategy laid the foundations of one of the most renowned sagas in the history of video games, Fallout. Its original creators left InterPlay when it was going through a bad financial moment, leaving behind licenses such as Fallout, Wasteland or Baldur’s Gate. Fallout fell into Bethesda's hands, but Wasteland remained in limbo, until InXile, the new Brian Fargo studio, recovered the license.
