Microsoft Brings ‘Shadowrun’ to Multiplayer

First there was D&D. It was so wildly successful, that new role-playing games like Wild West and Shadowrun were invented to bring the same imaginative experience to new genres.

Now we hear that Microsoft is bringing back the Shadowrun brand in a new multiplayer game. This is interesting in that the Shadowrun intellectual properties are owned by WizKids Inc. Maybe they just don’t have the dollars to fight the MS law team.

We’re still early in the dev cycle but the reviews are quite positive. Microsoft is not usually one for being innovative, this tells me that FASA Studio is getting a long leash. It’ll certainly be interesting to see how it turns out.
