Shadowrun Demo FAQ - Updated 05 June 07

Q: Are you doing a demo for both 360 and Vista?
A: We’re definitely doing a 360 downloadable demo. We haven’t announced a Vista one.

Q: When will the demo come out?
A: 07 June 07 at 2am PDT. How’s that for specific?

Q: What features will be in the demo?
A: We want to give players a good sense of what makes Shadowrun different / fun, but we can’t give away everything, of course. The feature set we’re offering is limited, but there are no time restrictions on the demo. Here’s what you get:

* Training: Chapters 1, 2, and 3
* Solo Match and Public Match (so both bot play and multiplayer)
* One map: Power Station (which means only one game type: Raid)
* Two races: Elf and Human
* Magic: Tree of Life, Resurrect, Gust, and Teleport
* Tech: Glider, Enhanced Vision, and Smartlink
* Weapons: Pistol, SMG, Rifle, Shotgun, Katana, and Sniper Rifle

Q: Will the demo be playable outside of the US?
A: Yes! US, Canada, Mexico, much of Europe, and even some parts of Asia. And it is localized. We think Shadowrun sounds really cool in Chinese, especially.

Q: How long will the demo be available?
A: We don’t have an expiration date at the moment. We’ll update when we have one.

Q: I have a question that’s not covered here. What do I do?
A: Post on the forums. If the question hasn’t been answered already, we’ll try to cover it.
