Did you know? On September 26th, 2013, our friends at Harebrained Schemes launched the first-ever Shadowrun video game on mobile devices, Shadowrun Returns, on iOS and Android. #Shadowrun #History #SixthWorld #videogame #CRPG #roleplayinggame

Shadowrun Returns offers a tactical, role-playing experience that shows everything that the Sixth World has to offer in a video game format. The original creator, Jordan Weisman served as the Director of the project. The game features an in-depth character creator, a wild Shadowrun story, and immersive combat.

The game would be expanded later with the expansion-turned-full game Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Later, Harebrained Schemes would release Shadowrun: Hong Kong off of the back of a successful Kickstarter campaign where they pushed the game to new heights.

Did you know? On September 16th, 2012, the German military managed to end the rampage of the dragon Feuerschwinge over the SOX. After tearing through Germany, the damage that "Firewing" managed inflict was something that the country could not allow to stand. #Shadowrun #Lore

This was a major event early in the Awakening. This marked the first time that humanity managed to bring down a dragon. It also led to a series of conspiracies surrounding Feuerschwinge, from claims of seeing her spirit form over Iceland in 2015, to rediculous claims of her being found alive in the body of a human woman and her going through a long series of experiments for decades after.

But weirder things have happened in the Sixth World. No one has all of the answers.
