Summary
Double Fine said Amnesia Fortnight 2026 will let Kickstarter backers choose four game ideas from a live online game jam, with one of those prototypes later becoming a full small game.
Aug. 31, 2026 is the Kickstarter launch date, and the campaign will also offer merchandise and other rewards tied to the studio’s community-driven development event.
The announcement outlines Double Fine’s next step after regaining independence from Microsoft, framing fan input as part of how the studio will decide what to build next.
23 employees were laid off at the end of last month as Double Fine resized for survival, with Tim Schafer saying independence required the studio to become financially sustainable.
