'Shadowrun: Hong Kong' Kickstarter Successful, Funding Continues

Shadowrun: Hong Kong is the 3rd stand-alone game set in the cyberpunk-meets-magic world of Shadowrun.

Set in the magically awakened city of Hong Kong in 2056, players will find themselves exploring the underworld of triads, tongs, wild magic, and bleeding edge cybertech with a crew of flawed, dangerous runners each with their own backstory and special abilities.

The Shadowrun: Hong Kong Kickstarter campaign has come to a close, earning 12 times its original funding goal, with $1,204,726 raised by 31,497 backers. Over the last five weeks, the campaign has demonstrated the tremendous impact a dedicated community can have on a crowdfunding project and reinforced the fact that gamers and enthusiasts just want great games to play!  Harebrained Schemes has proven once again that Kickstarter is a viable business model when executed correctly.

"We are humbled by the positive response to our third Kickstarter campaign and deeply appreciate the trust that our audience continues to place in us. We are excited for the opportunity and are hard at work on delivering Shadowrun: Hong Kong to the standards our audience has come to expect." said Mitch Gitelman, co-founder of Harebrained Schemes.

A Second Chance campaign is now available until March 13th for anyone who missed out on the Kickstarter and would still like to support the project.

Shadowrun: Hong Kong will be developed for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems only, with DRM-free versions available through GOG and Humble. Harebrained Schemes expects to release the game at a price point similar to their previous games.
