From the ShadowRun RPG Site:

Summer 2005: Chicago based company FanPro LLC presents the brand new fourth edition of Shadowrun, the premier Cyberpunk-Fantasy RPG. In Autumn 2005, Fantasy Productions from Erkrath followed up with a German-language edition. Now, in Spring 2006, Black Book Editions from Lyons will present the French version. The first two print runs of Shadowrun, Fourth Edition, in the US immediately sold out in the first wave of orders, and the upcoming third printing is already 50% sold by pre-orders. In Germany, sales figures are at best-seller level as well.

Shadowrun, Fourth Edition

The Shadows Have Evolved. The year is 2070. The world is not only Awakened-it's wired. Cyber and bioware implants make your meat body better-than-flesh, while the wireless Matrix enhances your perceptions with hyper-real senses. Deals are made in steel and lead more often than gold or nuyen; success and failure live only a razor's edge apart. Creatures of myth and legend walk the streets, while the arcane skills of spellslingers are in high demand. Above it all, monolithic megacorps bleed the world dry, sabotaging each other in covert cutthroat competition as they go to war over the bottom line You're a shadowrunner, a street operative, scratching out a living on the mean sprawl streets. You may be human, elf, dwarf, ork or troll. From lethal street samurai to well-connected info brokers, spell-slinging mages or code-cracking hackers. No matter what, you're a professional-corporate pawn or "deniable asset," you get the job done. Shadowrun, Fourth Edition offers a completely new rules system that is simple, integrated and accessible. The state-of-the-art has also been advanced, introducing a new level of augmented reality, new gear, new magical discoveries, and more. This hardcover rulebook contains all the rules gamemasters and players need to create characters and ongoing adventures set in the popular Shadowrun universe

Founded in 2001 in Chicago, IL, FanPro is the publisher for the award-winning game of Classic BattleTech as well as Shadowrun.

Luckily FanPro bought the rights to both Battle Tech and Shadowrun, otherwise they would be gone. Fasa went bankrupt back in 2001 and were the former owner of both games.
