Microsoft Game Studios and FASA Studios (MechAssault) have announced that Shadowrun is finished for Xbox 360 and Windows Vista PC. Shadowrun incorporates ancient magic and advanced technology into strategic and clever teambased gameplay for an unparalleled combat experience. The FPS game has an American release date of May 29th, 2007. Whereas the European release date falls on June 1st, 2007.
Utilizing both the Xbox LIVE and Games For Windows – LIVE network, Shadowrun tears down the walls between friends and gamer communities on the Xbox 360 and Windows Vista-based PC by letting as many as 16 gamers play together, regardless of platform (aka cross-platform). Not only does Shadowrun bring these communities together, it also extends the features gamers love on Xbox LIVE, such as gamertags, achievements, friends lists and integrated voice communication, onto the PC through Games for Windows — LIVE. Shadowrun is optimized for a multiplayer online experience LIVE, which requires an Xbox LIVE Gold account on Xbox 360 or Silver account on Games for Windows, the latter without Matchmaking or Live Anywhere.
