Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen fails to meet Kickstarter goal

Visionary Realms' Kickstarter campaign for fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, failed to achieve its goal.

The campaign drew to a close earlier today with just over $460,000 pledged — little more than half of its $800,000 goal. More than 3,100 backers contributed.

As promised, the developer announced the launch of the game's website and continued pledge efforts earlier today. Reward tiers have been copied from Pantheon's Kickstater campaign.

"The benefit of a live pledging system such as the one on the PantheonRotF.com site is that the funds received can immediately go into development, with no delay," the post reads. "Your pledges or subscriptions will be directly responsible for the progress on the game!"

Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is being developed for Mac and Windows PC. The game's launch is slated for January 2017; Visionary Realms has not yet announced if the Kickstarter's results will impact that date.
