Torment: Tides of Numenera has set a new record for gaming software on Kickstarter, raising $4,188,927 (£2,751,799) on the crowd-sourcing website.
The inXile Entertainment project reached its $900,000 (£591,230) goal inside 24 hours, and went on to exceed it by 465% following a 30-day fundraising campaign.
The feat makes Torment: Tides of Numenera Kickstarter's second most successful gaming project overall, behind only the OUYA Android console, which generated $8.59 million (£5.64m) on the website.
inXile announced the venture on March 6, with Planescape: Torment lead designer Chris Avellone having joined the development team since then.
The game will not be a direct sequel to Planescape: Torment, instead taking place in a new world called Numenera, based on the Monte Cook tabletop RPG setting of the same name.
Torment: Tides of Numenera was originally scheduled for a December 2014 release, but will now arrive in 2015.
