Following the trend of early 90s PC titles being reborn through crowd funding, several members of the original Shadowrun are looking to do a new game.
Shadowrun Returns is described as a "graphically rich, 2D turn-based, single-player game with deep story interaction." The team is focusing on "meaningful character development, and highly-contextual tactical combat," which will surely please fans of the original game.
Development is being handled by Harebrained Schemes, a Seattle-based studio comprised of Shadowrun’s original creator, Jordan Weisman, and many of the original Shadowrun authors and designers.
“Shadowrun is a world that is near and dear to the hearts of the Harebrained Schemes’ team, as well as to legions of fans worldwide,” said Weisman. “Kickstarter offers us an amazing opportunity to continue this classic’s legacy, all the while making its fans part of the development process.”
The team's goal is to raise $400,000. If funded, Shadowrun Returns will be released on PC, Mac, and Apple and Android tablets.
Head over to the team's Kickstarter page if you wish to donate.
