Still no official date, but developer Harebrained Schemes is sticking toits June window.
In addition to this update, Harebrained recently releaseda videoshowingReturn‘s Matrix realm where cyberpunks connect to do cyberjunks. It’s pretty cool, but not quite as cool as theGenesis game’s depiction of the Matrixwhich had the player taking on a third-person view of a metallic dude that threw lightning at giant microchips. Because, why not?
For those who haven’t been following the Kickstarter-backed project,Shadowrun Returnsis a reboot of the acclaimed tabletop and videogame franchiseShadowrunfor PC, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. It is helmed by Jordan Weisman, who designed the original tabletop game.Returnsis a tactical turn-based role-playing game in the style ofX-COM, unlike the previous action-RPG entries before it.
In addition to this project, another developer, Cliffhanger Productions, is making its ownShadowrunreboot:Shadowrun Online. Along with a new edition of the tabletop, 2013 should be a good year forShadowrunfans.
