A Sixth Edition, titled as Shadowrun, Sixth World, was announced on 1 May 2019 to coincide with the game's 30th anniversary, along with a new website at shadowrunsixthworld.com. The game was released to the public on 26 August 2019.
Regarding this, which edition of Shadowrun is best?
Shadowrun (2nd Edition) is my favorite edition. I've played 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. In 2nd edition Deckers and Riggers had very different skills and abilities - later editions tended to blur the line between those professions. Combat is very deadly - whoever shoots first is likely to live, if you are too slow, you will die.
Secondly, what year is Shadowrun 5th Edition set in?
Is Cyberpunk 2077 based on Shadowrun?
Based on the pen-and-paper RPG Cyberpunk 2020, in a nutshell, Cyberpunk 2077 is Shadowrun but without all the magic and elves and dragons and assorted weirdness.
What order should I play Shadowrun?
