Harebrained Schemes is bringing Shadowrun back into PCs and most mobile systems between May and June of 2013, set in the year 2054 Seattle, you must investigate a murder and have to choose from various types of characters from the create-a-character system which inclde classes like human, elf, dwarf, and troll. You can then choose an archetype from mage, shaman, street samurai, etc. You can also have either gender from characters you choose to create. There will be in-game questionaries which accroding how you answer, will set the background of your character.

The visual world will be at isometrtic scale and you cannot rotate the map where you wander to. Jake Armitage, the main character from the previous Shadowrun returns as an NPC character. XP will be awarded as karma points and there will be AP points, which will be depleted fast whenever you take damage.

"You earn both karma and nuyen in the game, and you spend karma in attrubites, skills, and abilities, while nuyen can be spent in gear."

"You can construct enviroments using all the pieces we've got in the game. it's exactly the same level editor we're using to make the game".

-Jordan Weisman

The NPCs will at times ask you questions to add a new mechanic Harebrained Schemes is working on.

"There's an ad-lib sentences instructor, instead of asking question using keywords like in the old SNES game, you use keywords in the answering of questions that NPCs give you, like a detective you need to be able to use words to gather clues in your investigations, without overwhelming the player in a complicated system of disconnected clues."

The team also hopeto release smaller DLC enviroment packs regularly, which will provide new locations like the Ork Underground and offer a new array of tiles, buildings and such.
