Shadowrun Returns Post-Funding Update #19, Berlin is the Second City

For the latest update to Shadowrun Returns’ now-concluded Kickstarter campaign the folks at Harebrained Schemes inform us on the results of the backers-only poll for the title’s second city. As it turns out, the choice fell on Berlin:

It was a hard-fought battle but as any geek can tell you, There Can Be Only One. . .

. . . and that’s BERLIN!

That’s right, Berlin came from behind and swept past Hong Kong, taking it’s place as the second city in Shadowrun Returns.

Congratulations to EVERYONE who participated in the voting (and the attempts at swaying the vote). It’s really a joy to make this game for you!

Talk to you soon!

In case you’re curious about what the German city has to offer in the Shadowrun setting, here’s the description that was used for the survey:

Berlin has seen many wars in its history and the Awakened World did not spare it. The EuroWars left it crushed yet again, but like a phoenix it continues to rise from the ashes. While the more modern western half turned to the corps, the more volatile eastern residents voted with their Molotov cocktails that anarchy was the way to go. The result is that Berlin is a dynamic dichotomy; home to many of Europe’s top corps, including the great dragon Lofwyr’s Seader-Krupp and Daimler-Benz, and home to Europe’s biggest collection of fixers, data thieves and gangs. Every runner considers it a badge of honor to run the streets of Berlin.
