Red Ash
What it is: Launched early July this year, Red Ash comes to us from Keiji Inafune, creator of Mega Man and the presumably upcoming Mighty No. 9 (we’ll come back to that). Ash promised to be a spiritual successor to Mega Man Legends.
How much did it make? With a goal of $800,000, the Kickstarter only made $519,999. It looked like it was over for Red Ash until…
What’s going on? The game will be published by Chinese publisher Fuze Entertainment, so if it did end up reaching its starting goal, the money would’ve gone to stretch goals. Exactly what they are is something that has literally no answer right now. To be even more complicated than this already is, there’s an eight hour prologue (or is that the new subtitle for the game?) for the PS4, Xbox One and PC called the KalKanon Incident, and there may also be an anime in the works. Either way, Red Ash is happening, though not without people wondering where the hell the other Mega Man spiritual successor is.
