Publisher Devolver Digital and developer Flying Wild Hog have announced Shadow Warrior 3 for PC (Steam), which will launch in 2023.
The first gameplay footage will be revealed during the “Devolver Direct” broadcast on July 11 at 12:00 p.m. PT / 3:00 p.m. ET, which you can watch on Twitch.
“We are excited to bring Shadow Warrior fans a completely fresh experience, and we can’t wait to show off the new features we have in store for them. We wanted to make sure that the Fast SHooter gameplay, the cool melee combat, and the spectacular free movement, will get the adrenaline and senses pumping in players going forward,” said Cuban game director Opon in a press release.
Opon continued, “But we have never forgotten the roots of Flying Wild Hog and we hope Shadow Warrior 3 will feel like a homecoming for fans who have been with us since the beginning. And we can’t wait to introduce new players to Lo Wang, our savvy hero with a tongue as sharp as his katana. Shadow Warrior 3 will see him take on a threat so big it might even be too big for him to handle.”
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Fallen corporate shogun Lo Wang and his former master turned enemies, his sidekick, Orochi Zilla, embark on an impossible mission to reclaim an ancient dragon they reluctantly released from their eternal prison. Armed with a punishing mix of swords and bullets, Lo Wang must traverse uncharted parts of the world to track down the black beast and push the apocalypse back. All it takes is a mask of a dead god, a dragon egg, a touch of magic and enough firepower to withstand the impending disaster.
