Harebrained Schemes recently revealed the first gameplay footage from the upcoming Shadowrun Returns RPG, as well as a collection of screenshots. The approximately 20 minutes of footage shows the action surrounding one of the game's side missions. The mission was created using the same Shadowrun Returns Editor players will have access to once the game is released.

Since our story is about secrets and lies, we decided that our video should walk you through a side-mission so you can get a clear sense of how the game is played without revealing any spoilers. In this mission, you’ve accepted a job from a reliable Fixer (who’s totally fronting for Aztechnology) to locate a rival corporate test lab and terminate the test (with extreme prejudice).

Remember as you watch the video that all the environments, conversations, and tactical situations you see were created using the Shadowrun Returns Editor - the same editor that will ship with the game on OS X and Windows. For us, re-energizing Shadowrun doesn’t just mean making a game for you to play and enjoy (although that sounds GREAT). It means creating a set of tools for YOU to experiment with, express yourself with, and share.
