Shadowrun: Dragonfall RPG Release Date Announcement & Trailer

By - | Views: 17,955

I have only just gotten into the first part of Shadowrun Returns and it's actually a lot better than I expected, so this is pleasing to see a DLC arrive for it with a full new campaign titled Shadowrun: Dragonfall.

This was an instant add-to-wishlist DLC for me as I am enjoying Shadowrun Returns.

About

Shadowrun: Dragonfall is a new campaign expansion for Shadowrun Returns. This thrilling full-length campaign takes players to the city of Berlin and is packed with new features, characters, environments, weapons, cyberware, enemies, and other enhancements to the Shadowrun Returns experience. Shadowrun: Dragonfall will arrive on February 27th, 2014 for Windows, OSX, and Linux and will sell for $14.99. It’s available for pre-order on Steam and a DRM-free version will be available on GOG.com.

Sadly it seems there is no way to get it or the base-game outside of Steam for Linux gamers, maybe one day they will sort that out.

Update: They have clarified that they will be getting it onto Humble as well!

@gamingonlinux Our goal is to release on Humble Store for our Linux users

Features

  • Experience a New Full-Length Campaign: Return to the “Tech meets Magic” future of Shadowrun as you and your team of runners get drawn into a treacherous conspiracy. Operating out of an offbeat central hub neighborhood, you’ll choose which missions to accept and how you’ll approach them while navigating the dark underbelly of “the Flux”. 
  • An Exciting New Locale: Shadowrun: Dragonfall transports runners to the Free City of Berlin, a thrilling Shadowrun setting full of gorgeous new hi-res environments, a diverse new cast of characters, and a new soundtrack by the composer of the original Sega Genesis Shadowrun game, Sam Powell. 
  • Command Your Team: Lead a small team of shadowrunners, each with their own outlook and backstory. Each member of your team is designed to play an interesting role during missions and has a unique set of skills, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. 
  • New Weapons, Cyberware, Enemies & More: Try your hand at the long-range sniper rifle, devastating grenade launcher, or stun-inducing taser. Chrome yourself out in the latest cyberware, and take on deadly new enemies – including new magical creatures like gargoyles and fire drakes. Dragonfall brings a host of new items, characters, portraits, and improvements to the Shadowrun Returns experience. 
  • Save Anywhere: You can save your progress at any time during the game. (This expanded save functionality is also available in Patch 1.2 for Shadowrun Returns.)

The original Shadowrun Returns is available via the Humble Store. It's a pretty good bet the Dragonfall expansion will be available on the Humble Store too. ^_^

I could of told you the shadow runs game was pretty good. crash happy on AMD cards but plays flawless on my intel hd 4000.  I am glad they took their time with it, can't say I haven't wished I was playing it already however.

Crash happy is right: I've hardly played it since I purchased it a month or so ago due to crashes ruining my experience.

Hopefully once I get my new gaming rig with its GTX 645 this won't be a problem.

Great combat system, beautiful graphics. I just wish there was much less clickclick, story telling and more action. It's very much a game on rails too. Shame.

Do you mean with the Catalyst driver, or does it affect other configurations? I'm curious because my laptop with an AMD HD4850 with the open source driver is certainly powerful enough to run whatever an Intel HD 4000 can handle, so I would like to know if this game would be problematic on it or not.

Guess I can give the open sauce driver a shot tonight and let you know. I suspect it is catalyst but since I play a lot more games that actually do benefit from catalyst at the moment I don't run it yet (siradeon). Will let you know in the morning
