Step into a high-stakes world where magic and technology collide in Shadowrun Trilogy. This definitive collection from developer Harebrained Schemes brings together three critically acclaimed titles—Shadowrun Returns, Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut, and Shadowrun: Hong Kong—into one massive tactical RPG experience. Set in a gritty, near-future landscape where elves, trolls, and orks walk alongside cyborgs, this trilogy offers a masterclass in the cyberpunk-fantasy genre.
A World of Magic, Chrome, and Corporate Greed
The year is 2054. The return of magic to the world has awakened ancient myths, but it hasn't brought peace; instead, it has merged with a hyper-advanced technological era. In the shadows of massive corporate arcologies, you play as a shadowrunner—a mercenary living on the fringes of society, surviving day-by-day through skill and instinct. Whether you are navigating the urban sprawl of the Seattle metroplex or exploring the streets of Hong Kong, your mission remains the same: get the job done by any means necessary.
The setting is a unique blend of hardcore sci-fi and high fantasy. Players will encounter netrunning elves and wizardly cyborgs in a world where ruthless corporations bleed the populace dry. Each entry in the trilogy offers a distinct narrative thread, ranging from grounded murder mysteries to sprawling tales that have been described as some of the most memorable RPG stories of the decade.
Deep Tactical Gameplay Mechanics
Shadowrun Trilogy is a hardcore, single-player, turn-based tactical RPG. The gameplay loop is divided into three distinct phases, providing a structured and intense experience for fans of the CRPG genre:
- Dialogue: These games are heavily driven by narrative. Utilizing a classic Infinity Engine-style chat system, players must navigate dense, text-heavy interactions. Success often depends on your ability to read the room—and the screen.
- Exploration: Navigate through linear, focused maps that strip away unnecessary "fat," keeping the player focused on the immediate mission and the atmospheric environments of the urban sprawl.
- Combat: Engaging in a style reminiscent of XCOM, combat is fast-paced, strategic, and highly tactical. Players must master powerful forces of technology and magic, utilizing a wide array of options to overcome enemies in turn-based skirmishes.
The Definitive Shadowrun Collection
This bundle is the ultimate way to experience the evolution of Harebrained Schemes' acclaimed series. The collection includes:
- Shadowrun Returns + Deluxe Upgrade: Includes the Anthology PDF and the Official Soundtrack.

Who is this game for?
The Shadowrun Trilogy is tailor-made for fans of tactical strategy and deep, narrative-driven RPGs. If you enjoy the high-stakes tension of XCOM, the atmospheric world-building of classic cyberpunk, or the intricate character progression found in traditional CRPGs, this collection is essential. It appeals specifically to "hardcore" players who appreciate dense lore, complex rulesets, and stories that demand careful reading and strategic thinking.
Available on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Linux, the Shadowrun Trilogy invites you to step out of the light and into the shadows of the future.
