Shadowrun Trilogy Releases On Switch This Coming June

@Olliemar28 Just waiting for the inevitable physical release from Limited Run.

Hmm. I'll definitely give these a try.

Am I right in saying that Disco Elysium was inspired by these games? I haven't played it or any of the Shadowrun games but they look pretty similar to me.

I've been waiting for this. This going to be so good to have on the go!!

The whole trilogy coming out on my birthday nice perfect chance to play and find out what's so good about these games

The shooter on Xbox was one of the most underrated games of all time

I'm just hoping that this will be a decent-great remaster. Other remastered games have left something to be desired.

Re-imagined for Xbox, Playstation and....Nintendo? LOL

I am so in. I enjoyed shadowrun returns and have oft thought about picking up the sequels.

So is this including the SNES game or is that something else?

In 2050, heartless maga-corporations control the 6th world and all it's resources with such an iron fist that the common man is force to call 2 games a "trilogy" (Dragon fall is an expansion, it only became a stand along game with the "director's cut".)

Still, fantastic games in a fantastic setting, although you might want to consider getting the first one on PC. It came with a powerful editor and there are 1000s of fan-made missions and a few mind-blowingly good full campaigns. There is a ... slight chance you'll get access to them on Xbox, but almost no chance on the PlayStation or Switch.

@Davzilla

It (and to a lesser extent, Brink) heavily inspired and informed the gameplay choices of Valorant. I'm personally not a fan, but it's highly rated and free so you might want to try it out if your looking for something that feels like the MS published Shadowrun.

@KindofaBigDeal

This includes the games by Harebrained Schemes released in 2013 and 2015 for PC.

It's complicated, but all FASA Shadowrun products (both the SNES and Sega games, most of the core roll-playing products) have been in licencing limbo for over 20 years at this point they are more or less "lost".

Short story: FASA went out of business and the rights transferred a bunch of times until Microsoft ended up with the "digital rights" and Catalyst Game Labs getting the rights to "future RPG products". Microsoft passed limited rights back to Jordan Weisman (hence the first game needing Kick Starter, no one was willing to publish it given Weisman limited control of the IP). So currently no entity has the established rights to the old products, while 4 or 5 interested parties would sue anyone who tried.

Steam Workshop has recreations of both games in the SR:R engine, and there is a official mission by Jordan Weisman that is a continuation to both western releases (the Sega-CD game has never been released outside of Japan).

Loooooooove these games, can't recommend them enough.

@OorWullie you are right.

One of my friends wanted to run a tabletop Shadowrun campaign for our group. I rolled up a silly pun character, and then read up on the entire setting of the campaign, and was extremely interested. I rolled up a second character that was more fitting of the game setting after I understood it a little better and wanted to take it more seriously.

Then he chickened out and never actually ran the game, and I read through an entire rulebook for nothing.

I think I'll give these a go, if for no other reason than finally getting to put some of that knowledge I gathered to good use.

Always wanted to try one, but they are always on MASSIVE sale so only if the price is right.

Instabuy. Can't wait for the chance to play dragonfall again. The storytelling and characters here is top notch.

@HeadPirate

Interesting, cheers for the info!

Would like to give the SNES game another go one day. My young teenage self couldn't wrap my head around it at the time but liked the atmosphere of the game.

@Rafa78 Alright, cheers.

I love this games... played on steam.

Love this game on the Sega Genesis and Super NES (which are actually two different games) so I'm excited for this. Wish both 16-Bit versions are included in this collection, like Aladdin, Sparkster, Home Alone, Batman Returns, The Adventures of Batman and Robin, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, TMNT: Tournament Fighters, Robocop vs. The Terminator, etc., both Shadowrun are unique to the console they are made for and despite being based on the same IP, both are actually two different unique game of their own. Hopefully a physical release is coming as well.

Vaguely remember playing and enjoying the SNES game back in the day, but probably traded it to GameStop (doh!). Would be interested in playing it again, but based on the earlier comments, doesn't sound likely the SNES version will be available. Remember reading about these newer games when they originally came out, but they didn't really grab me for some reason. Would be interested in trying a demo of this trilogy if the publisher is so inclined.

Is there a first person shooter with a similar name? I was thinking of something else I guess.

Gimme the SNES version and I'll be super happy.

@HeadPirate If you actually played the games, you'd know that DF is basically the largest of them all, so it would be interesting to call that an expansion but not the one after it. It's a full game, has nothing to do with an expansion, fact.

@spectraleggings

Hahahhaahhaha. HAHAHAHHA!!!! OMFG, you made my day man. Knowing people like you exist and I'm not one of them brings a smile to my face every time. Anyways, from the official site:

Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director’s Cut is a standalone release of Harebrained Schemes' critically-acclaimed Dragonfall campaign, which first premiered as a major expansion for Shadowrun Returns

major expansion for Shadowrun Returns

So NOTHING to do with an expansion, fact. Well, I mean except the fact that it's a Shadowrun Returns expansion. But other then that, nothing.

@HeadPirate screaming in capital letters just goes to show your insecurity, please stop. And this doesn't change the fact that HK could be called an expansion as well then. "people like you exist and I'm not one of them made my day." You boastful, pompous, stuck up human garbage, thank you.

@HeadPirate and before you gon a rant about name-calling, remind yourself that you were the contemptuous hostile piece of ***** here, not me.
