Shadowrun 6th Edition - Rules of Play says:
This 320-page new edition is easier to play and learn than it has ever been, yet it still offers the role-playing depth that is a key part of the Shadowrun experience. The rule system is built around gaining advantages and taking risks, building up to spectacular moments that are part of great gaming sessions! Faster gameplay and conflict resolution keep the game moving and plunge players ever-deeper into Sixth World intrigue. More pre-generated characters, plus character-creation rules, allow you to design and select exactly the character you want to use in the game.
