Brian Fargo has announced plans for a sequel to The Bard's Tale 3 some 27 years after the game was released.

Fargo and inXile will seek the funds to develop The Bard's Tale 4 through Kickstarter.

In 2004, inXile released a comedic action adventure spin on the series called The Bard's Tale. Fargo said The Bard's Tale 4 would return to the series' roots, and would be "a proper sequel to the trilogy".

Fargo had little more information to share at this stage. He said inXile intends to "dial up the atmosphere". The developers are only focusing on PC at this time, added Fargo.

Last year, Fargo and company released the Kickstarter funded Wasteland 2. The studio is also working on another Kickstarted RPG, Torment: Tides of Numenera.
