First expansion for Shadowrun Returns already announced, Dragonfall set to arrive in 2014

Shadowrun Returns hasn’t been out all that long and already the first expansion for the game has been announced. This expansion will be called Dragonfall and Harebrained Schemes is already hard at work developing it for a 2014 release time frame. This won’t be a small expansion with a little bit of extra content either. Instead it will be a full-length one with a whole new campaign set in the Free City of Berlin.

We already have a small description regarding the storyline for this new campaign:

BERLIN. The Flux-State: a stable anarchy enforced by an ever-shifting coalition of megacorps, political factions, and savvy power players. A place where almost anything goes, and the right connections can be the difference between success and starvation. Dangerous jobs abound and there’s no better place to earn a quick payday – provided you live long enough to spend it. For you and your team of battle-scarred runners, it’s just another day in the Free City of Berlin.

But a new threat is rising, one that could mean untold chaos and devastation. The only clue: whispers of the DRAGONFALL, a long-forgotten event from the earliest days of the Awakened world. As you find yourself drawn into a maze of veiled dangers and strange machinations, you will come face-to-face with a grim spectre of the past… and alter the course of Berlin’s future.

What the Flux-state is dubbed as a stable anarchy (odd term to use) consisting of mega-corps, political factions, and power players, like the above description suggests. This also means there will be plenty of new characters to meet and interact with along with plenty of new gear and weapons at your disposal.

For those of you who were a little disappointed in the fact that you can’t save everything in the game, that too will be changing with the expansion. You’ll be able to pause and save your game anywhere you like, making the game much more playable in short bursts when you’re out and about.

As for when the Dragonfall expansion will actually arrive, we just know it’ll be sometime in 2014 after the PC version of the expansion is released in January.
