Development History / Background:

The Repopulation started as a Kickstarter project that launched on June 2, 2012. The initial goal of $25,000 was reached within two weeks and the game went on to raise a total of $53,169 by the end of the campaign.

While The Repopulation will be free to play upon release, players can purchase beta access for $20-$100 through either a Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Platinum+ package.

The game entered Early Access on December 19, 2014 and was re-released in February 2017 after being purchased by Idea Fabrik, the studio behind HeroEngine.

On January 11, 2023 the development team announced that they had not been paid for services rendered and abandoned the game. Short after, the IP owner Idea Fabrik wiped itself off the internet without notice. Both the game's website and the company's website have been shut down with no official notice.
