Evaluation

Wasteland Remastered launched on February 25, 2020 as a fully remastered version of the 1988 classic. The store description frames it as a complete, polished product — overhauled visuals, audio, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements — with no mention of planned future content. The only DLC released is the soundtrack, which shipped on launch day. There has never been a major content update or expansion, and no additional content has ever been announced. The developer's news history consists entirely of bug fix patches and one anniversary documentary post from November 7, 2022, which celebrated inXile's 20-year history and expressed excitement about future studio projects — but made no specific mention of any new content for Wasteland Remastered. This game was launched as a finished remaster of a classic title, and all evidence points to it having been content-complete since its release date.

About this game

Originally released in 1988, Wasteland brought the post-apocalypse to video games and inspired a genre. Play one of history’s defining RPGs with completely overhauled graphics, sound, and expanded musical score.

The year is 2087, nearly a century after an all-out nuclear war turned vast swaths of the Earth into a radioactive hellscape. You are a Desert Ranger, a band of stalwart lawmen who are the only hope left in what was once the American southwest, and good people’s last defense against hunger, sickness, ravaging raiders, and mutants.

Now something more secretive and sinister is menacing humanity, and it's your job to investigate. Recruit help and follow leads—the choices you make will shape the world around you. Choose wisely, your life and the lives of those you’re sworn to protect depend on it.

Wasteland Remastered retains the spirit of the original game while updating visuals and audio.
The original game’s physical storybook is available in-game, fully illustrated and with full voice over.
An expanded musical score from the "Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic" release.
Old bugs that have been around since Reagan was president have been fixed.
Survive the apocalypse from the comfort of your couch with game controller support.
Quality of life improvements that make the post-apocalypse a little friendlier.
