360 Shadowrun Title Partially Confirmed

Via Gamasutra, a mysterious outline on the FASA website of a quartet of Shadowrunners. This likely indicates that the much rumoured Shadowrun title for a Microsoft console will be making an appearance sometime soon. Hopefully even next week. From the article: "If true, this project will mark the first American Shadowrun video game in over twelve years, following games for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis, which were developed by Beam Software and BlueSky Software, respectively." Ahh, the SNES version of Shadowrun. Being a Dog Shaman was never so much fun.

No, FASA. As in FASA Studio, which is the renamed remnants of FASA Interactive, which was purchased by Microsoft back in the XBox days.

This game was talked about a few months ago, and from what I understand it is a FPS game with limited RPG elements. That makes me a sad, sad panda.

It's coming.

"If true, this project will mark the first American Shadowrun video game in over twelve years..."

There's not really much rumor or myth to it, the game IS coming, according to Team Xbox. Gamespot.com has a placemarker up for it, which probably isn't saying much alone.

Another Team Xbox story mentions that a game artist's resume revealed that he had been working on high-poly count characters for Shadowrun for the last five years.

I have just enough karma pool and an Armtech grenade launcher that says the game will be here soon.

Wizkids owns the rights to publish the tabletop game, FASA Studio (i.e. Microsoft) still owns the rights to publish video games.
