A few things about Shadowrun Assassin:
- Shadowrun: Assassin has, for all intents and purposes, been shelved until
further notice by the now Microsoft-owned FASA Interactive.
- The development of System Shock 2 and similar games has had no bearing on
this situation.
- Shadowrun: Assassin was to be, from all descriptions, a Tomb
Raider-meets-Diablo-style game with 'something more to it.'
