Microsoft Game Studios and FASA Studio have announced that a “Shadowrun” beta program is underway. Currently the beta program is limited to Xbox 360 owners; however, the companies may be expanding the beta in the future to include Windows Vista gamers as well.
Shadowrun is the ground-breaking new first-person shooter from the creators of MechWarrior and Crimson Skies. In Shadowrun, magic, technology and weaponry combine to open tactical options never seen in games before.
Summon minions to destroy your opponents. Teleport through walls then glide down on wings like death from above. Play as a member of RNA Global and bring stability to a world rent asunder by the return of magic to the world. Or join the Lineage and struggle to keep magic free, no matter what it does to the planet.

Beta FAQ
Welcome to the Shadowrun Beta FAQ. As people ask questions the answers will be placed here so check here before asking!
How do I apply for the beta?
Go here and follow the instructions.
OK, I applied for the beta. Now what?
Now you wait. Beta invites will begin going out sometime in December, 2006.
Will the entire beta group be invited at once?
Nope. Quite the opposite in fact. We will be starting with a small group and building up for months afterwards.
Is the beta for both 360 and PC?
Nope. This beta is 360 only.
Do I need a hard drive on my 360 to play the beta?
Yes.
Why do I need a hard drive on my 360 to play the beta?
Because you will be downloading the game from Xbox Live Marketplace once you are accepted into the beta.
Will the Beta have all the features of the game?
No but it will have more than enough to get a feel for it.
How do I report bugs in the beta?
there will be forums for that purpose here once people start playing the beta.
Where can I learn more about Shadowrun?
go to www.shadowrun.com and look it all up. I would pay special attention to the map iteration testing series in the dev diaries, written by Bill Fulton. You can find the most recent post in that series here. It has links to all the earlier ones.
If the current beta isn't cross platform why are you collecting PC data in your survey?
We are collecting PC data so that in the event of a cross platform beta we don't have to run you through a second survey.
