Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown Released

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, years of development, and even a rebranding, Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown, formerly known as Shadowrun Online, has left Early Access and seen its official release. I haven’t really had a chance to check the progress Cliffhanger Productions has been doing with the title, so I’m very interested to see how the first official build will fare in terms of reception.

Here’s the official trailer:

And here’s the full press release

The online action-strategy game is available now

Vienna, AUSTRIA, April 28th 2015:

Shadowrun is the mother of all cyberpunk settings, captivating fans around the globe for over 25 years. Now, with Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown, Cliffhanger Productions is releasing a unique and tactically challenging online game. In a world where magic and technology collide, the player takes control of the combat unit of one of the mighty megacorporations, tasked with doing their dirty work. And there’s a lot of that in the world of Shadowrun Chronicles.

The campaign mode in Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown can be tackled either solo or in co-op multiplayer mode. First, you create your own hero in true RPG fashion in a level-free character system and gradually assemble a formidable team of Runners. With over 50 different enemy types, the missions require smart and prudent planning, cover from fire, suppressive fire, heavy weaponry and, of course, the well-considered use of powerful magic.

The Early Access phase of Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown officially ends today and, following the successful Kickstarter campaign with over 6,000 supporters, to whom the developers extend their special thanks, is finally available in stores off- and online.
