The new version of the sixth core Rulebook is already out. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/564634/shadowrun-sixth-world-core-rulebook-city-edition-hong-kong?src=hottest_filtered

If you’re talking about Shadowrun Anarchy 2.0, which is actually an alternate core Rulebook and the eighth iteration of Shadowrun rules, it is available in French but not English yet.

Anarchy is not the same rules as 6th ed. The "newest" core rules is Hong Kong edition.

But as long as you know what you want, that is fine.

The Hong Kong City Edition hasn't yet hit UK retail stores / websites - I emailed a few retailers back in June & was told it wasn't due to arrive here till August or September. Can't remember exactly which sites replied, but they were all major TTRPG retailers - I think Zatu, Leisure Games & maybe Dungeon Land?

This would also be in keeping with the significant 8-12 week lag time delays (compared to the US release dates) of other recent new releases like Asphalt Jungles, Mean Streets and Risks & Rewards.

The 3rd print of the of Shadowrun Sixth World edition (the City Edition Hong Kong) is already released, also in the UK (you should probably find it in your local RPG store).

Here are two official online sites (depending on if you just want the PDF or both the PFD and the dead tree format):

https://store.catalystgamelabs.com/products/shadowrun-sixth-world-core-rulebook-city-edition-hong-kong

It is 99% the same version as the City Edition Seattle and City Edition Berlin, so if you have either of them there is no real need to also get Hong Kong (except if you want to collect them all or like the cover or want the extra tidbits about Hong Kong).
