successfully raised $17,618 of the developers' $11,000 goal, reaching the first stretch goal for adding the location of St. Ninian's Church to AbbeyCraft, which was later released on Soma Games' website on August 9, 2013. Although the game was intended for release in Summer 2014, financial difficulties and "tons of paperwork" meant development proper could not begin until Soma Games secured additional funding. In September 2014, the company's website issued a pitch for interested partners to support the project, and in February 2015 announced that the non-profit organization The McClellan Group had joined them as a backer. Throughout 2015, the company took part in a Praxis Labs business accelerator where they completed all art and pre-production steps on the title and began a "grassroots" marketing campaign. Soma Games announced in July 2017 that the first episode of The Warrior Reborn had been greenlit for Steam Early Access, with the game's preliminary market page added to the site. The Early Access version was originally going to be available on September 29, 2017, but was pushed back to December 18 of that year under its new title, An Epic Tale of Redwall. The title was changed once more in March 2017 to The Lost Legends of Redwall following concerns by Random House and The Redwall Abbey Company that the previous one was too close to the branding "A Tale of Redwall" seen on some Redwall novels. On September 14, 2018, the first episode, "The Scout", was officially released on Steam for Windows and macOS. Soma Games initially stated that they wanted to make Legends of Redwall a "'progressive adventure' designed for multi-platform deployment" with primary development beginning on Windows and Mac with "tablets as secondary. A console option is a maybe." The title was later released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2019.
