“We hope to have the whole team back to work on Road Redemption as quickly as possible but right now our priority is making sure that everyone on the team, and their families, have a safe place to stay,” said studio co-founder Ian Fisch. “We hope that all of our fans and kickstarter backers will be understanding in these tragic circumstances, and if they’d like to help they can visit www.braf.org to make a donation.”
Road Redemption has sold over 100,000 standalone copies since launching on Steam Early Access in late 2014.
Road Redemption was originally scheduled to release on PC on October 15, 2016, with PS4 and Xbox One versions slated for Q1 2017.
