Shadowrun Comes To Linux, MMO Planned

New submitter junkrig writes "After a highly successful Kickstarter campaign, Jordan Weisman, creator of Shadowrun, has returned to bring the series back to the screen as Shadowrun Returns; an old-school, turn-based tactical RPG. Their successful initial fundraising (over $1.8 million) allowed them to commit to developing a native Linux version of the game. A second team, working closely with Weisman, now hopes to bring a similar, turn-based Shadowrun game to life: Shadowrun Online. To be built with the Unity 4 engine, Shadowrun Online will be massively multiplayer and have native Linux support from the start — assuming, of course, they manage to fund their project. Both games are expected for release in 2013."

  1. ANOTHER Linux game story? by erroneus · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This is getting ridiculous... people will start believing this crap if they keep writing stories about it.

    Oh, look at the time, it's almost time to enroll my son at Hogwarts!
