Harebrained Schemes Is Taking Another Shadowrun At Kickstarter Funding
In an update sent to Shadowrun Returns backers, developer Harebrained Schemes has teased more coming in the cyberpunk universe. The success of the first title is luring the company back to the crowdfunding scene.
The update to backers is very brief, “Shadowrun returns to Kickstarter January 2015,” it says. Included in the update is an image that reinforces the message (above).
This will be Harebrained Schemes third turn on Kickstarter. The second is the digital/tabletop hybrid, Golem Arcana. You can read more about that in our interview with company founder Jordan Weisman from PAX.

Our Take
I’m a fan of both Shadowrun Returns and Golem Arcana. Harebrained Schemes has delivered on its promises to backers in a timely fashion, which is not something every successfully funded venture can claim.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
