So this bit of PR has been floating around since this morning and I am find this very curious and interesting in the way of developments considering how much of a non-starter the First Wonder Kickstarter has been thus far.

San Francisco, California (October 12, 2015) - Indie developer Rogue Rocket Games today announces a partnership with independent console developer and publisher GRIP Digital to bring their upcoming First Wonder to consoles. Through this partnership with GRIP Digital, First Wonder will now also come to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, once fully funded on PC. Rogue Rocket Games is also thrilled to announce that First Wonder - their hilarious, genre-bending spiritual successor to the beloved classics MDK and Giants: Citizen Kabuto - flew through Steam’s Greenlight process, passing in less than two weeks.



"The team at GRIP have such excellent console experience, there's nobody better to help spread the madness of First Wonder to PlayStation and Xbox," said Rogue Rocket Games co-founder Richard Sun. Jakub Mikyska of GRIP Digital added, “We are very excited about partnering with Rogue Rocket Games to bring First Wonder to consoles – because, believe us, there really is nothing like this on consoles right now, and gamers need this!"

In First Wonder, the people of the alien planet of Majorca are besieged by a colossal ancient creature known as Monstro, awoken from his sleep by a greedy corporation and intent on fulfilling a dark ancient prophecy. Only the Cargonauts – a down-on-their-luck deep space salvage crew – can halt Monstro's path with all the blasting and jet-pack equipment they have to work with, hoping to best Monstro's incredible natural abilities. Players will not only be able to join the Cargonauts, but also take charge of Monstro in intriguing, humorous alternating chapters of a gripping single player campaign, and online via asymmetric multiplayer.

They've really stepped up their promotion of the kickstarter, teaming with twitch streamers and releasing a new updated pitch video that was way more polished than the original.
I have a funny feeling it's too little too late, sadly.

Seems like a perfect fit for Team17 to be honest, more so than Allison Road...

I wouldn't be shocked if they were exploring that avenue given the news on display here.
