Harebrained Schemes has announced that Shadowrun Returns will be launching simultaneously for PC and mobile tablets on July 25, 2013. Shadowrun Returns will be available on Steam for purchase for PC. They have announced that they will be releasing the campaign files alongside the editor with the game.
"The idea of releasing all of the editor files for the Shadowrun Returns campaign was based on my experience working with Trent Reznor on the Alternate Reality Game (ARG) for his album Year Zero. Trent empowered his fans to re-mix his music anyway they wished by releasing the GarageBand tracks with the album. With Shadowrun Returns we are doing the same thing, players can start from what we have created and build on it, revise it, or use it as a starting point for completely new stories. I believe we are the first to release an editable version of an entire campaign, and we are excited to see where the players take this universe," said Jordan Weisman, founder of Harebrained Schemes and originator of Shadowrun.
Backers for their Kickstarter campaign have already been playing around with the editor and have created some content for Shadowrun Returns. It will be exciting to see what the creative minds of the community will come up with once the editor is available to the masses.
