What are the upcoming SR products and where are they due?
I'm especially waiting for Unwired... any "approximate street date" ? Do they released a preview/table of content? |

Unwired, Ghost Cartels, Feral Cities, Cities of Intrigue.
Approximate street dates are never announced. Previews are posted on shadowrun4.com in PDF form. They come out when they come out. Edit to add: Runner's Companion and Running Wild. |

But I get the feeling that we should be hearing something soon.

Unwired has been coming out any minute now for the last...four weeks? So one supposes it will be soon.

Seem to remember seeing "a book off to the printers" without being named a week or two ago on twitter feed. Just hoping internally it was Unwired, at long last.

I can't for the life of me figure out what's going on with Unwired. It's been described as imminent for a month and a half, now. The Twitter seems to imply that the majority of Shadowrun-related work is currently on books farther down the line, and they said they were looking at Unwired finals two weeks ago. If it's not this week, I'm just assuming that they're waiting to have the physical book in the warehouse before they release the PDF. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/question.gif)

Nah. The universe is, when you come down to it, hilarious. What would be the most ironic thing to have happened to Unwired?
That's probably what happened. -Frank |

Off the top of my head, someone managed to erase the master electronic copy of it. Quite possibly an external hacker

Probably if Catalyst's wireless network went down and they couldn't send it to the printer.

Hope to hear something soon too. If Catalyst really still expect to release 5-6 books in 2008 as indicated in the latest chat, check out page one on the May chat transcript, then we should hear something soon I guess.
In the May chat we were told that the plan for whats left of 2008 is: Unwired, Ghost Cartelst, Feral Cities, Runner's companion, Vice, and Corp guide book. I've added Runner's companion to the list, since it was later said that it was left out by mistake. Thats alot of book basically 6 books in 6-7 months, but maybe that plan has changed. Heres hoping they will be able to pull that off, but to me it sounds like a very tall order (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Some sort of update regarding the release schedule would be great. And yeah it would be nice to hear when we can expect Unwired. |

I bet Unwired was sent to the printer and the preview copy came back using a Dingbat typeface. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Six or seven books in six months is a tall order and I'm not holding my breath on that statement. With the exception of Unwired (I'm sort of BSing the complicated hacker stuff with my players) I can wait patiently for the other proposed titles.

Worth noting that, after unwired, most of the remaining schedule is fluffy. With the core rules out the door and 3 post unwired books required to meet the target, as on Corp Enclaves was technically released this year. I think that they can still be on target.

The hard drive containing the compiled and fully edited master copy ate itself. Four times, maybe five. (They lost count.) Someone spill coke on their keyboard. -paws |

Wasn't Unwired and Arsenal originally scheduled for last year anyway? I just wish there was more information, particularly when the die seems to be cast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohplease.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohplease.gif) Arsenal and Unwired were originally scheduled for last year, until FanPro stopped publishing and we took over Shadowrun, yes ... and within our first year of operation, we've delivered almost as many Shadowrun books as FanPro did in the previous two years. We've been awful quiet lately because I had a visitor in from out of town and previous to that I was working stupid insane hours trying to get Tactical Operations out the door, and for that I apologize. However, we are not changing our plans of _not talking about things_ until we have worthwhile and informative news to share. When we have a street date, we'll post the street date, and when the PDF is ready to sell, it will be available for sale. We just finalized our license with WizKids and that has created a lot of additional work -- getting sublicenses with foreign publishers, software companies, and other industry partners up and running -- and we are all busting ass to get that stuff done in addition to our publishing schedule of games. |

Software companies? I thought the game software rights to all the FASA-created settings was owned by Microsoft. Or would this be non-videogame software, such as electronic character sheets / battlemech record sheets? |

It would be software that directly relates to our games, yes.
