Kickstarter update from Harebrained Schemes announces a release date (and
minute) for Shadowrun: Hong Kong, saying August 20th at 1:00 pm EDT is when to
expect their turn-based tactical RPG (thanks nin). They announce the news in
this short video
noting that tomorrow marks the two-year anniversary of the release of Shadowrun
Returns. Here's word:
Mitch here, with just enough bandwidth to pull my
head out of polishing the game to let you know that Shadowrun: Hong Kong has an
official release date! During the Kickstarter, we estimated that we would
release the game in August… and that’s why we’re releasing the game in August!
August 20th, 2015 at 10am PST, to be specific. On Steam, GoG, & Humble.
Estimating, scheduling and delivering something as complex as SR:HK is tough and
I’m extremely proud of the entire team for their focus, dedication, and hard
work. I’d like to say a special thank you to our ace Producer, Chris Klimecky
and my co-Director, Mike McCain for their work in getting the game to you on
time. Mike joined me at the helm a ways back so I could dedicate more time to
writing, and his work has been first rate - just like it was on Shadowrun:
Dragonfall and Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director’s Cut.
The game’s really coming together and it’s amazing to see the team’s hard work
and creative collaboration on-screen. Making games is an incredible challenge
but making games with these folks is an absolute pleasure.
We’ll be sending out another update in the next couple of weeks regarding how to
get your keys from BackerKit and an update on all the remaining Kickstarter
rewards.
In the meantime, here’s a few new screenshots & gifs we grabbed for you. Thanks
for staying with us since January and we’ll see you August 20th!
