Last month, the developers of Skullgirls launched a crowdsourcing campaign, asking for $US150,000 to introduce a single new character into the game. That campaign has now come to a close. The final tally?
$829,829.
Wow.
The whopping contribution from fans means that the game won’t just be getting a single new character. It will be getting five of them, four story modes, six new stages and nine voice packs.
Here’s the complete rundown of everything that’s being added to the game now the campaign is closed:
- First Character: Squigly
