Xbox developer Obsidian Entertainment already has a number of projects in the works, but there's one other Xbox IP that CEO Feargus Urquhart would like to explore. 

During an interview with Tom Caswell on the new Hit the Limit Break podcast, Urquhart was asked if there was a non-Fallout Xbox IP that he'd like to see Obsidian work on. Urquhart immediately responded with Shadowrun, noting that he'd asked to see the list of IP Microsoft owned shortly after Obsidian was purchased and added to Xbox Game Studios.

"I love Shadowrun. I think it's super cool," he says, adding that "If you had to pin me down on one, yes, Shadowrun is the one. I bought the book when it first came out, I probably own four of the six editions, I think it's a super cool IP."

Shadowrun has a complicated history

Shadowrun first began life as a pen-and-paper role-playing game, with the first edition launching back in 1989. Shadowrun is a cross between cyberpunk dystopia and dark fantasy, with powerful corporations and gangs wielding magic as elves and dwarves are born into the world.

Developed by FASA, several editions followed, with the pen-and-paper rights transferring to WizKids, a company that was then acquired by Topps, which now licenses the rights to Catalyst Game Labs (CGL).
