Shadowrun Returns Post-funding Update #65: Linux Version Available

The latest post-funding Kickstarter update for Shadowrun Returns brings some really good news for Linux players, as that version of the game is now available on Steam and Harebrained Schemes’ own website. On top of that, patch v1.1 has now finally moved out of beta, and it looks like the next patch will feature the long awaited changes to the save game functionality:

We’re pleased to announced that the Linux version of Shadowrun Returns is now available on Steam and in the Download section of your HBS account (which you’ll find here). From this point on, Linux will receive updates at the same time as the Windows and OSX versions of the game. Thanks to all the Linux Beta Testers for their feedback. Much appreciated! In addition to Linux support, version 1.1 of Shadowrun Returns has moved from Beta to release and the game will automatically update the next time you launch it on Steam. As mentioned in our last update, we also added quite a few new editor features in this release in anticipation of the Berlin campaign. You can find the entire change log here. Our next big code update will feature expanded save game functionality.

In other news, we are doing the final passes on the French, Italian and Spanish versions of the game which will be ready for release in the next few weeks. We anticipate the German and Russian translations to be delivered from our translators in November, and after we do a little in-house testing we will release those as well.
