Arkham Horror Remastered Gamefound Campaign Extended 108 Hours
The Endgame extension keeps the campaign open until backers stop pledging; the project has now raised more than $5.7 million.
The Arkham Horror Remastered crowdfunding campaign on Gamefound was extended by 108 hours past its original deadline through an "Endgame" extension, according to gamesradar.com. The campaign has now raised more than $5.7 million, with $803K of that added since the extended period began.
The Endgame extension adds a 10-minute timer that resets each time a new backer pledges, and the campaign ends only when no one else backs the project.
Milestones during the extension add content to the game itself. A new gameplay element is added at every 24-hour mark, and an exclusive art postcard is added for every six hours the timer keeps running. An Arkham Asylum postcard and a hero named Louis Brown are still to be unlocked.
Arkham Horror Remastered will only be available through this Gamefound campaign and will not come to retail.
Background

The Remastered version is based on the 2005 edition of Arkham Horror, which is crunchier and less streamlined than the version widely available today.
