In mid-2015 the studio announced that they were indeed preparing to hold a fourth Kickstarter to fund a new game in the BattleTech franchise to be titled merely Battletech. In early 2015 Harebrained Schemes discussed in interviews that that studio would soon start work on a game of another of Weisman's "children", many speculating that it would be a revival of BattleTech. In 2014 the studio also announced that they were developing Necropolis, an action-roguelike set for release in 2016. In addition to its Shadowrun titles, Harebrained Schemes also funded the development of the board game Golem Arcana through Kickstarter. Work on Shadowrun: Hong Kong had already begun using the studio's own funds by the time that the Kickstarter campaign was launched the money raised through Kickstarter instead went towards expanding the amount of content that they would be able to put into the game, the campaign would go on to raise $1.2 million. The studio returned to Kickstarter to fund Shadowrun: Hong Kong in early 2015.

Both games were well received, but in 2012 Hairbrained would then embark revival of classic titles funded by nostalgia driven Kickstarter campaigns. The following year, the studio released a second mobile game, Strikefleet Omega.
