#SHADOWRUN FREE WINDOWS#
Īt E3 in May 2006, Microsoft officially revealed Shadowrun for Windows Vista and the Xbox 360. Initial gameplay prototyping was done using the Halo: Combat Evolved engine while FASA Interactive worked on creating their own engine. Microsoft then filed a trademark for the Shadowrun title in November 2004. In January 1999, Microsoft purchased FASA Interactive, acquiring the electronic rights to Shadowrun in the process. Three video games based on the Shadowrun universe were created throughout the 1990s: one for the SNES, one for the Sega Genesis, and one other for the Mega-CD (released only in Japan). The battle between these two sides has grown to great proportions as of 2031, as the struggle for the artifact continues between RNA Global forces and The Lineage. Eventually, forces began to organize themselves under the Chancela family, and became known as "The Lineage". Resistance turned to conflict, conflict turned to skirmish, and skirmish eventually plunged the city into all-out war. The resistance was helped greatly by the leadership of the Chancela family, who were dedicated to defending the ziggurat and recovering the artifact.
The locals, still upset over the initial accident and trying to rebuild on their own, began resisting RNA's efforts. Vowing to keep the peace and clean up Santos, RNA's first actions were to enact martial law and declare a curfew for all citizens. Deflecting blame for the incident to an Ork paramilitary organization, RNA retreated from the city while rethinking their strategy.Īfter a time, RNA Global returned to Santos, this time armed with a government contract that provided them control over the city. Instead, they caused a magical accident that destroyed half the city and brought down the mountainside, revealing the ziggurat to all. Armed with an artifact from ancient times, the research team sought to channel and control the magical energies they were exploring. Their job was to explore and research the strange energies coming from a mountainside along one edge of Santos. RNA Global, a powerful multinational corporation, sent a research team to Santos, Brazil. The years after magic's return wrought change on a global scale. Then, on December 24, 2012, magic began returning to the world, leaving change and confusion in its wake. In the millennia since its construction, the ziggurat was eventually buried, hidden in the side of a mountain. Even the Chancela family, who secretly maintained the ziggurat for thousands of years, did not know its purpose, nor did they know the purpose of the strange artifact somehow connected to the ziggurat. The purpose of this construct is shrouded in the mists of history. When magic was last at its peak, a powerful Ziggurat was constructed near what would be modern day Santos, Brazil. Magic enters the world, grows, peaks, and eventually retreats. If a user was without online services, they could set up bot matches and hone their skills.Īccording to the ancient Mayan calendar, magic is cyclical, leaving the world and returning every 5000 years. Currency also allowed players to purchase new weapons. Additionally, gadgets, or "tech", were obtainable through currency.
Players could heal, damage, teleport, and summon to gain advantages over others. Magic was a key component to this game as well. The four playable races are Human, Elf, Dwarf, and Troll. Additionally, a currency system dictated in-match upgrades, with each race given a different amount of starting capital. Players chose various races with unique abilities. Shadowrun's multiplayer consisted wholly of a first person/third person deathmatch.
