The lights are on
The Berlin DLC for Shadowrun Returns was originally scheduled to release in October. However, developer Harebrained Schemes announced that the add-on won't be out until January 2014 – but it's going to be better due to the delay.
Expanding the scope of the Berlin content is the reason for the push. With the additional time, the team will make structure more flexible, the story more involved, and more depth to the characters. Other new additions – like outfits, weapons, and creatures – are also being implemented.
If the quality of the Berlin DLC can match the base game (read our review here), then RPG fans shouldn't mind waiting a few extra months.

Our Take
Delays can be disappointing if they affect titles that you're eagerly anticipating. However, it's hard to argue that they are bad, especially in cases like this. The extra time is clearly giving the team the opportunity to improve the content and make it better than it would have been otherwise.

I believe the people that play this won't mind especially with Steam Workshop around. They can play with what is in there while they wait for this.
Eh, thats okay. Take the time they need to make it legit and worthy of buying.
WOA! looks a lot like killzone liberation! :/
The base game was a lot of fun. Now, we have the tools to create our own content and I'll happily wait till 2014 for an official DLC.
Works for me, just finished the Seattle campaign and I'm checking out what fans are making, some of them are pretty good.
I honestly don't mind this delay if the DLC will be bolstered.
I've just gotten back into this game (on my third character) and am very excited for another fantastic campaign.
