In a new message posted on the official Shadow of the Eternals website, Precursor Games CEO Paul Caporicci announced that the company will be ending its current crowdfunding efforts for the game. Caporicci teased “exciting opportunities” after receiving lots of support from the community.

Precursor is now planning a re-launch, which will go live in “a few short weeks”. All donations given to the studio through the current crowdfunding campaigns will be returned.

Caporicci’s message in full reads:

To our community,
Since we announced this Kickstarter campaign we have seen more support from our community than we had ever hoped for. Along with this support has come a host of a new exciting opportunities that will make the game better than we envisioned. As a result, we have chosen to temporarily take down the Shadow of the Eternals crowdfunding campaigns on both Kickstarter and our own website on Thursday, June 6.
This doesn’t mean we are going away — far from it. We’ll be re-launching the Kickstarter in just a few short weeks with a reveal of these exciting new developments.
