Gamasutra reports that 42 Entertainment (I love bees), FASA (Battletech), and WizKids founder Jordan Weisman has reacquired the ‘electronic rights’ to his intellectual property from Microsoft – which recently shut down it’s FASA Game Studios. This means the original creator of Mechwarrior, Shadowrun, and Crimson Skies can begin to create any new game he wants to, based on his franchises.

This is great news for fans of these franchises, as Microsoft’s closure of FASA Game Studios basically halted any further development from them and their recent production of Shadowrun was a critical flop.
