When FASA Studios closed its doors a few months back, we thought it was the end of Shadowrun and FASA games as we knew them. But today we find it's not. FASA founder Jordan Weisman has been busy lately, he just created a new game studio called Smith & Tinker and (get this) bought up all of FASA's original IPs from Microsoft. Yup. Weisman and Smith & Tinker now own the Shadowrun IP as well as MechWarrior and Crimson Skies. What will they be doing with these oldy, but golden IPs? They're not ready to show us their hand just yet, but they do promise to "surprise and delight old fans, while welcoming new fans to these fantastic worlds". Anyone up for an Xbox 360 Crimson Skies sequel in 2010?

Oh my god. Shadowrun isn't dead, after all! We may see some DLC yet. Plus, new Mechwarrior (possibly) makes me incredibly happy. Thoughts?

People, for the milionth time; whatever these people will do with the shadowrun franchise, it will be nothing like the shadowrun we know.

i heard that originally there was to be a orc character but because of them being rushed to release it had to be taken out, myabe with DLC we will get to play as a orc.

but this was only rumour that was going around lobbys
