Awakened Seeks Kickstarter Funding
Superhero-simulation game, Awakened, has resurfaced on Kickstarter to fund a project of up to $500,000 to develop the game for Windows PC.
After starting as a cancelled Midway project, developer Phosphor Games came together to reignite the project and keep it going. After a period of silence, Phosphor Games announce the Kickstarter Campaign to bring the game into development in Unreal Engine 4, once and for all.
In Awakened, you can customize your heroes with the intricate character editor along with a catalog of superpowers like invisibility and stone skin.
If the goal of $500,000 is met, this would allow for Awakened to include the character editor and a single-player campaign. Phosphor Games names off a few stretch goals including multiplayer mode and a full-game editor, which grants the player access to creating their own environments and scenarios.

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.
