The independent studio Harebrained Schemes has already revived the sci-fi RPG Shadowrun. It was released in 2013, followed by the expansion Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut in 2014, and the second expansion, Shadowrun: Hong Kong, will be released on August 20th. All thanks to the support of Kickstarter users. The developers also plan to use the same service to raise funds for the revival of their next long-forgotten project: BattleTechThey will offer a tactical turn-based game centered around robot combat. As with Shadowrun, writer and game designer Jordan Weisman has been brought in to help develop the game. It's still too early to talk about a release date, of course, as we first need to wait for the results of the crowdfunding campaign, which launches on Kickstarter this fall. Details about the new BattleTech Very little is known so far; more information will be released in the fall. However, some things are known. The project's gameplay will combine the role-playing mechanics of the MechWarrior series from the same universe with modern tactical elements of turn-based games. Now is the time to mention that the new BattleTech will be the first turn-based tactics game in its large family to be released in 20 years. It's also known that the campaign will be presented in a mercenary style. Moreover, we're talking about an open campaign. So, that's all the information about it for now. BattleTech, but it's already enough to spark interest in the project. Incidentally, there's no doubt about the crowdfunding campaign's success — Harebrained Schemes' previous projects have raised more than enough funds for implementation. For example, the upcoming Shadowrun: Hong Kong expansion's goal was to raise only $100, but ultimately raised $1 million.
