Step into the dark, neon-soaked streets of a dystopian future in Shadowrun Chronicles: INFECTED Director's Cut. This definitive edition merges two intense narrative arcs—the Boston Lockdown and the INFECTED! campaigns—into one seamless, high-stakes experience. As a mercenary navigating a world where magic meets advanced technology, you will face unprecedented threats that demand tactical brilliance and quick thinking to survive.

A Gripping Tale of Conspiracy and Infection

The story begins when you arrive in Boston seeking refuge from trouble elsewhere, only to witness a catastrophe of global proportions. A crazable dragon, emerging from an underground laboratory and trailing iridescent particles, devastates the city, attacking NeoNet towers and crashing into Fenway Park. This event marks the beginning of a nightmare for every citizen in the sprawl.

In the INFECTED! campaign, the stakes become deeply personal. After an encounter with "headcases," you find yourself battling Cognitive Fragmentation Disorder—a deadly disease induced by nanites. As you race against time to find a cure, you must also contend with a rogue AI that is actively attempting to seize control of your body and mind. Amidst a city plagued by a viral outbreak, corporate minions, and a rampaging dragon, you must unearth the secret conspiracy connecting these disparate horrors.
