Check Out Alpha Gameplay Footage For Shadowrun Returns
After delaying the release of the Kickstarter-funded Shadowrun Returns to May or June this year, Harebrained Schemes is releasing the first official gameplay footage for Shadowrun Returns: Alpha.
When Shadowrun Returns came about on Kickstarter, it was seeking $400,000. Harebrained Schemes successfully surpassed that amount and put the game into development. The extra money led to the extra time needed to fine-tune the game, hence the delay.
Shadowrun is a classless system, which gives players the chance to change things up. You can develop your character the way you want without the limitations of a class. The different characters you can grow into are a mage, street samurai, decker, shaman, rigger and physical adept. A previous Game Informer feature expands on each of these different characters.
The game is slated for release on PC, Mac, and tablets. You can follow the game’s progress at the developer’s official website and check out the gameplay footage below.
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.
