With 16 days left on their Kickstarter, Moon Hunters has already doubled their original goal and are on their way to tripling it. The four player co-op action RPG has already hit their PS4 stretch goal and their online PC/Mac stretch goal as well. The next platform to topple will be a single player only version for the PS Vita at the $135,000 CAD stretch goal. $15 CAD nets you a copy of the game on your choice of platform, the team over at Kitfox Games is thinking that PC will release first with the other platforms to follow soon after.

PRESS RELEASE
SQUARE ENIX COLLECTIVE SUCCESS #1
That’s right folks… the Kickstarter campaign for MOON HUNTERS, the myth-weaving RPG from Kitfox Games, not only achieved its initial funding goal in less than 48 hours – it’s now achieved over CAD 100,000 – more than 220% funding, with over two weeks still remaining!
So what does this mean for gamers, we hear you ask?
Well, Kitfox Games now have the funding they need to bring the game to both PlayStation 4 and PC – and have also achieved 5 other stretch goals, including a new faction, a new playable class and a new cooking module. The most recent stretch goal adds online co-op multiplayer for PC gamers.
The Kitfox team has now added a range of new stretch goals, including pet familiars, another friendly faction, a PlayStation Vita version of the game (at CAD 135,000) and localisation into French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian (CAD 145,000).
“The past couple of weeks have been really amazing, and all of us at Kitfox would like to thank the community for their support,” said Tanya Short, lead designer on Moon Hunters. “It’s been pretty overwhelming, but we’re super-excited we can afford to work on our dream game!”
