Gollop, who’s best known for creating the XCOM series, is looking to update his 1985 strategy game Chaos: The Battle of Wizards. Chaos Reborn will carry on with the original's theme of a group of wizards being forced to fight to the death in an arena. It will feature its own single-player campaign, with a co-op option, along with competitive multiplayer for between two and six players.

At the time of writing, Gollop managed to raise $150,607 from 3,703 backers. In order for Chaos Reborn to be fully funded, he needs to reach a goal of $180,000 by April 17.
