Shadowrun: Dragonfall – Director’s Cut Announced

With the latest Kickstarter update for the project, which falls on the anniversary of the launch of Shadowrun Returns, Harebrained Schemes announced that they’re working on a stand-alone, updated and expanded version of Shadowrun: Dragonfall, which will be released in September, and will be free for all owners of the original Dragonfall expansion. They cite CD Projekt as an inspiration for this choice, which is a fairly good thing in my book:

We’re excited to announce Shadowrun: Dragonfall – Director’s Cut. Inspired by other passionate, community-focused developers like CD Projekt RED (who continued to improve and add to their Witcher titles post-launch), we decided to make an even bigger & better Dragonfall for you guys. The Shadowrun team has been hard at work taking the existing Dragonfall campaign and making it even better – adding new features, missions, art, and more.

And we’ll be releasing it as a standalone title on Steam, GOG and the Humble Store.

What’s more, as a continued (thank you) for your support, the Director’s Cut will be FREE to all Backers and to all owners of the expansion version of Dragonfall. If you’ve played Dragonfall already, this should be a great opportunity to return to the streets of Berlin and enjoy the improved campaign all over again – to try a new archetype and make different decisions. And if you haven’t played Dragonfall yet, this will be the definitive version of the game to dive into.

We’ll be talking more about the specifics later next month – but we wanted you, our Backers, to be the first to know what we’re working on. The Director’s Cut will be released sometime in September.
