InXile Entertainment: History and Key Facts

inXile Entertainment, Inc. is an American video game developer and a studio of Xbox Game Studios, based in Tustin, California. Specializing in role-playing video games, inXile was founded in 2002 by Interplay co-founder Brian Fargo.

The studio produced the fantasy games The Bard's Tale and Hunted: The Demon's Forge, along with various games for Flash and iOS such as Fantastic Contraption in its first decade of development. In 2014, inXile released the post-apocalyptic game Wasteland 2, following a successful Kickstarter campaign. Following the game's critical success, the studio went on to raise a then-record US$4 million on Kickstarter to develop Torment: Tides of Numenera, a spiritual successor to Interplay's Planescape: Torment.

InXile was purchased by Microsoft and became part of Xbox Game Studios in 2018, just as it was developing Wasteland 3, which it released in 2020. The studio is currently developing Clockwork Revolution for Windows and Xbox Series X/S.
