How often does anyone get to boast that they\u2019re launching three games at the same time? This is a banner day for the team at Paradox, along with our friends at Xbox, Codeglue, and Harebrained Schemes, as we all get to bring the amazing universe of Shadowrun<\/em> to life for a new audience. If you\u2019ve somehow managed to never experience Shadowrun<\/em> in its nearly 35-year history, you\u2019re in for something special, and we\u2019re honored to be the ones to welcome you into this world of megacorps, magic, and mystery. Xbox Game Pass players now have three points of entry into this amazing setting \u2014 Shadowrun Returns, Shadowrun: Dragonfall,<\/em> and Shadowrun: Hong Kong,<\/em> all available collectively as the Shadowrun Trilogy.<\/em><\/p>\n

Shadowrun,<\/em> for the uninitiated, is a role-playing game set in a dark, dystopian future, where advanced technology and magic tangle together into a web of corporate espionage, urban warfare, and cyber-crime. Players take on the roles of the eponymous and anonymous \u201cshadowrunners,\u201d specialists and operatives who handle the dirty work for powerful corporations and syndicates when there\u2019s data to be hacked or heads to be cracked. The setting has grown deeper, more intriguing, and increasingly popular with every new edition and game, and we\u2019re not the only ones who think so; the original PC release of Shadowrun Returns<\/em> was funded on Kickstarter in just 28 hours!<\/p>\n
