Unsung Story Kickstarter Reaches Its Goal
With only 10 hours to go, the Kickstarter campaign for Yasumi Matsuno’s Unsung Story has brought in almost $620,000. This pushes the project over the goal line, with the game scheduled for release in July 2015.
Matsuno is known for his work on Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, and Final Fantasy XII. He is joined by artist Akihiko Yoshida (Final Fantasy Tactics, Bravely Default), composer Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story), and the team at Playdek, which will be publishing the game.
Unsung Story will be coming to PC, Mac, Linux, and Windows tablets thanks to the Kickstarter funding. Android and iOS versions are also planned. For more on the title, check out our coverage of the class system, the story, and combat. For the full pitch, visit the Kickstarter page.

Our Take
While I’m disappointed that there isn’t more of a prototype available, the pool of talent committed to this project is most impressive. Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy Tactics both carry a lot of nostalgia for me, and I’m looking forward to buying this when it’s released.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
