Shadowrun Hong Kong - Extended Edition Release Information

[Harebrained Schemes]

We are pleased to announce that the Shadows of Hong Kong bonus campaign is now available as part of a FREE update to Shadowrun: Hong Kong and a FREE bonus to new players. This update also adds the developer audio commentary and a variety of small game improvements such as new visual effects, updated dialogue, and editor features for User Generated Content.

The entire package has now been rebranded as Shadowrun: Hong Kong - Extended Edition to reflect all the new content. Hong Kong has never been better!

Existing owners of Shadowrun: Hong Kong just need to download the new campaign as you would any other game update. (On Steam this should be automatic.)

How do I access the Bonus Campaign?

You must have completed the main Shadowrun: Hong Kong campaign in order to play Shadows of Hong Kong.
To play the bonus campaign: update to the latest version of the game and then select “New Game” from the main title screen menu to find the new campaign and continue your adventure! Note: When you start Shadows of Hong Kong you will be able to select a high-karma character to import from any valid "final save" file to continue the story with.

If you do not have a final save to select from then load up the character you wish to import, and play through the final level of the Main Campaign again, until the credits roll. This will create your final save and it should now be available from the new game menu.

About Shadows of Hong Kong Bonus Campaign

Set in the weeks following the events of the main campaign, Shadows of Hong Kong will give you -- and your team -- the opportunity to turn the tables on the elite corporate police force that once hunted you. Through layers of corporate greed and urban strife, you will contend with dangerous enemies, uncover a deadly conspiracy, and cement your reputation as a Prime Runner… assuming that you survive, of course.

Over 100+ Minutes of Audio Commentary!

The team had a great time recording the Audio Commentary for the game.You’ll hear more about character motivations, the interesting choices you’re familiar with, or perhaps even some Easter Eggs you may have missed. (SPOILER ALERT: If you want to discover these things on your own, listen at your own risk - the Commentary assumes that you’ve already played the game!)

Interactive audio icons are spread throughout the Main Campaign where the various areas are discussed. Our hope is that you have some extra fun along with us and learn a little something more about the game at the same time. Audio commentary can be enabled in the Options menu.

Sweet! Found a small bug, though. The save game import says I didn't let Gaichu turn Ishida into a ghoul. I took the choice to leave it up to him and ended up with Gaichu going ahead with that. Dunno if that'll have any effect on the campaign.

I'm not having this exact problem but mine says let gobbet destroy the sinking ship on her own when in fact I actually helped her, I'm thinking maybe there's a bug with some of the story decisions being brought over?

Same bug with Gaichu here. He created a ghoul, but the intro text says otherwise.

Love the game and looking forward to playing this campaign.

[edit] seems the Gaichu issue is only incorrect in the intro text. In-game is all good.

Thank you!

I got both, the DRM and the Steam version. Played HK through on DRM, then bought a Triple-Pack with Dragonfall and DMS included.
Obviously didnt play the Steam version, so the question is: How do I import my HK:DRM version savegame into the steam version, in order to play th extended version?

[Saladin]

Got a strange bug. When loading story sequences, sometimes the game will break and not allow me to progress. However, if I exited the game completely and loaded the game again I could complete the next part before having to do it all over again.

In summation, I can only progress if I save after almost EVERY story segment - exit the game - then play the last save file. See, if I screw up and advance TOO far, then the broken game won't progress or even allow me to save. I have to start over at the last "clean" save.

FIX. THIS. PLEASE.

There are a lot of typos, which I found odd as this is a series I consider to be very well-written. Worse, though, is that the end of the Detention mission doesn't seem to end properly, leaving me trapped outside of the building with no way to exit.

There are steam cards, now? :)

Same. I helped her blow up the sinking ship, says she did it on her own.

Patch changelog please?

Old nature and toxic spirit models are back at last... thanks! (find them in the editor).

However, old troll models (and the Dragonfall dog model) are *still* broken (their necks are "crushed")! :( Please can this be fixed so we can use them?

[geekly]

God, if there are any, please-please-please bless Harebrained! Hail to you, HS :3

[Aqua Snake]

If you already started a campaign before Extended Edition launched, will you still see any of the improvements/upgrades?
