The development team is composed of people who worked on other various big games. As with Wasteland 2, the company chose to bankroll the development of the game. Unlike their previous projects, the company chose to use equity service. The crowdfunding campaign launched in October 2016, and concluded a month later with over $3 million raised.

The game was scheduled to launch on Linux, PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One in late 2019. After Xbox Game Studios acquired the company, the company hired more employees for the game’s development and delayed its release date to early 2020. The game’s budget was three times more than its predecessor. The additional budget was mostly spent on implementing new scenes and for the hiring of voice actors. It was delayed yet again due to the company’s remote working conditions from the pandemic, while the Mac and Linux versions have been postponed to an undisclosed date, the have released it on Windows 10 and other consoles.
