“Harebrained Schemes is all about weaving tactical gameplay that challenges your mind with stories and characters that engage your heart,” said Lamplighters League director Christopher Rogers in a press release. “For years we have had the privilege of telling stories in cherished settings such as Shadow run and BATTLETECH. Because Lamplighters League set in a new world, it gives us the creative freedom to simultaneously create stories that support gameplay and games that support story. We love these characters and hope players and fans enjoy getting to know them while exploring each one’s unique abilities as we did. I can’t wait to share everything we’ve been working on.”
